Darryl Hicks, a 28-year-old father of two, was shot and killed while fueling his vehicle at a Gratiot Avenue gas station near East State Fair in Detroit on July 25, 2019, at about 9 p.m. Surveillance footage shows three armed men approach: Reondo Ventour and Dekarie Kennedy first, followed by Kayjuan Glover-Smith. The footage records Ventour pulling Hicks from his car, a struggle, and Kennedy shooting Hicks multiple times. While Hicks lay on the ground, Glover-Smith is seen taking his belongings and the trio then fled; Kennedy fired an additional shot before they left. Hicks was taken to a nearby hospital and died of multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators said the attack may have been linked to a prior dispute, possibly a robbery. Detroit police quickly identified the three men. Glover-Smith was arrested first and charged with felony murder, felony firearm, and carrying a concealed weapon; bond was denied. Ventour and Kennedy were located in November 2019 in Rupert, West Virginia, where authorities say they were hiding in a known drug house; both faced additional West Virginia charges before extradition to Michigan to answer for Hicks’s killing.

Did anyone in the Detroit or Rupert communities see these men around the time of the killing or have information about the prior dispute?
