In the early hours of February 22, 2020, Eugene Jennings, 36, was found dead from a gunshot wound in a back room of a vacant building on the 20 block of Minnesota Street near John R in Detroit. Police described the scene as a boarded-up structure that became a crime scene when officers arrived; investigators said the killing was under investigation and no suspects were in custody immediately afterward.

Loved ones held a candlelight vigil two nights later outside the same vacant home, calling Jennings selfless and central to the family. Authorities tied the Minnesota Street homicide to a broader, high-profile manhunt for Kenyel Brown; officials said Detroit police had sought a warrant related to the February 22 incident while prosecutors pursued charges linked to other killings. Brown later shot himself during an attempted capture and died days afterward, and no trial or conviction for Jennings’ killing had occurred in that initial period.

Does anyone have information about Jennings, his movements that night, or the vacant building where he was found?
