Demarco Alexander Kinel, 35, was found in the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue in Pontiac on July 19, 2019, after his girlfriend and a friend went looking for him when he didn’t return home. First responders arrived about 2:38 a.m.; Kinel had suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

Investigators recovered a single spent shell casing near the body and identified 27-year-old Jevon Hairston of Pontiac as a suspect. Hairston was arrested and charged with open murder, possession of a firearm by a felon, and two counts of possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony. He was held without bond at the Oakland County Jail and arraigned in 50th District Court; a probable cause conference was set for early August 2019. His attorney indicated a possible self-defense claim, saying Hairston had felt threatened prior to the shooting.

Did anyone in Pontiac see or hear anything that night on Pennsylvania Avenue that might help explain what happened?
