On June 13, 2018, 34-year-old Troy Sanford was killed in an ambush on Detroit’s east side while preparing to take three children to school. Two gunmen dressed in black emerged from a vacant house across the street and opened fire on Sanford’s minivan. Sanford was fatally wounded.

Two of the children were also struck: a 10-year-old girl was shot in the shoulder, and a 14-year-old boy suffered facial injuries from bullet fragments. A 12-year-old boy in the vehicle was not hurt. Detroit police launched a citywide manhunt for the two suspects, but subsequent reporting and official updates have not indicated any arrests.

The motive for the attack remains unclear and the case is unsolved. Anyone who knew Sanford, the children, or who has information about the shooting is asked to come forward with tips. Could someone reading have information that helps identify the two men in black?
