Tyneika Keliher, a 36-year-old Black woman and the youngest of six sisters, was found shot to death on Detroit’s east side in the final days of 2019. She was expected to meet family on December 30, 2019, and did not answer calls or messages; relatives say she had been making plans and had no reason to expect danger. Her body was located in a wooded or vacant area near Mapleridge Avenue and Hayes Street, with some reports placing the site in or near the 15000 block of Mapleridge.

A short distance away, Keliher’s vehicle was discovered burning on Linnhurst Street, with one report giving the address as 14240 Linnhurst Street. Authorities did not publicly say whether evidence was recovered from the car or whether the shooting occurred at the scene where her body was found. Crime Stoppers offered a reward of about $3,000 to $3,100 for information leading to an arrest. If anyone knew Tyneika’s movements that day or saw anything in the Mapleridge, Hayes or Linnhurst Street areas, please share information with investigators.
