On January 2, 2019, 28-year-old Zonte Cade, a Black/African American father of two from Detroit, was reported missing after failing to return from a short errand. He had dropped his 4-year-old son at a friend’s house that morning and later didn’t answer calls. That evening Cade’s car was found at the corner of Rowe Avenue near Pinewood Avenue with the engine running and the body riddled with bullet holes, but Cade himself was not there.

Four days later children playing in a nearby alley discovered Cade’s body. His mother described him as a devoted father and an active performer in Detroit’s music scene. No arrests have been announced and there are no known suspects; Crime Stoppers has offered a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to an arrest.

If anyone knew Zonte, was in that neighborhood on January 2–6, 2019, or has information about his death, please come forward.
