Brandon Curtis Pennywell, 21, was found dead inside a black Cadillac at the McGregor Manor apartment building on Saginaw’s West Side on Saturday, November 4, 2017. Authorities described the circumstances as unclear and opened an investigation, but no suspects were ever publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. The case remains unsolved.

Brandon was remembered by family for his infectious smile, kind heart, and devotion to his son and girlfriend. His death followed the murder of his twin brother in Saginaw the previous year and came during a rise in homicides in the city that local officials linked to gang and drug-related activity.

Anyone with information about Brandon’s death or who remembers seeing the black Cadillac near McGregor Manor on November 4, 2017 is urged to come forward.
