Vanita Gray, 52, was shot to death in the early hours of a January morning in 2020 on Detroit’s east side. She was found in the driver’s seat of her SUV, which had been hit by multiple rounds. The location was less than a mile from the home she shared with her boyfriend.

Seventeen minutes after the shooting the boyfriend flagged down police. Armed and distressed, he told officers he had just killed the person responsible for Gray’s murder but gave no coherent details and later complained of chest pains; he was taken to a hospital. Investigators quickly named him a person of interest after finding his account conflicted with evidence at the scene. A relative of the boyfriend later alleged the boyfriend had confessed to the killing.

If anyone knew Vanita or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know with investigators.
