Saja Aljanabi was 29 and had recently passed her driver’s test while preparing to take the U.S. citizenship exam when she was shot and killed outside her family’s home on Bingham Street in Dearborn, Michigan, on the night of September 6, 2019. She was sitting in her car when three teenagers, who that evening had already robbed a 49-year-old woman on Steadman Street, encountered her in what investigators say was an apparent robbery attempt. Her brother Ali Aljanabi ran to her after hearing the gunshot and tried to help, but she died en route to the hospital. The assailants also fired at a 56-year-old man nearby; he was not injured.

Three youths were arrested: a 13-year-old, 14-year-old Demaurio Dismuke, and 17-year-old Jamel Philson. The 14-year-old’s court-ordered GPS tether placed him at the scene. Dismuke and Philson were tried as adults and later received prison terms for second-degree murder; the youngest was convicted of armed robbery and felony firearm while the murder charge against him was dismissed, and he received a blended juvenile probation and delayed adult sentence.

Does anyone have information about that night or about Saja’s movements in the hours before the shooting?
