On September 15, 2019, 15-year-old Christian Conway was fatally wounded by a gunshot inside a home on Belton Street on Detroit’s west side, where he lived with his mother and siblings. Initial statements to police from a 15-year-old friend at the scene described a drive-by shooting, but that account changed during questioning.

The friend later admitted there had been no drive-by and confessed to firing the gun, saying the shooting was accidental. The teen was taken into custody and the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office filed charges; the files do not specify whether he was prosecuted in juvenile or adult court or what the outcomes were.

Christian’s family lost a teenager in what began as a reported random attack and became a tragic incident involving a friend. Does anyone have information about Christian, the Belton Street home, or the events of that night?
