Jessie Lovett, 53, was shot in the head and killed inside his Chalmers Street home in Detroit on June 4, 2018. According to family accounts, Lovett had walked out to get breakfast and buy lottery tickets that morning; while he was briefly away an intruder or intruders broke a window to gain entry. He returned and was confronted and fatally shot in his own house.

Family members say Lovett was a cheerful man who made people smile, and his cousin Mack Varrett said they had grown up together and were as close as brothers. Relatives believe the killer was familiar with Lovett’s routines and knew when he would be gone. Despite a police investigation, no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Jessie, noticed suspicious activity near Chalmers Street that morning, or has information about who might have known his schedule, please come forward.
