Sammuel Dequane Newell was 20 when he was found fatally shot on Detroit’s east side on December 13, 2017. Police discovered him lying in the street on that cold December day, and the shooting prompted an immediate investigation as family and neighbors sought answers.

Within days investigators identified a 21-year-old suspect, Shadeed M.S. Brown, who was arrested and arraigned on charges of first-degree murder and felony firearm. A jury later considered the evidence and returned a guilty verdict against Brown.

The case moved from the street to the courtroom as the legal process continued toward sentencing. Does anyone have information about Sammuel’s last known movements or witnessed the incident that could help complete the timeline?
