Rodney Yeargin, 29, known professionally as Doughboy Roc, was shot and killed on the afternoon of Monday, October 9, 2017, while seated in his white Hyundai near Stoepel Street and Westfield Avenue on Detroit’s west side. Police arrived about 3:30 p.m. and found him deceased with gunshot wounds to his right ear and shoulder. A crowd of friends, family, and fans gathered at the scene as news spread.

Yeargin was a member of the group Doughboyz Cashout and a visible figure in Detroit’s music community. In the weeks after the killing investigators reported no suspects and no clear motive; Crime Stoppers later offered a cash reward and his family appealed for information. Some reports linked the killing to the drug world, noting a prior conviction for narcotics trafficking and a federal seizure of cash at an airport, but his lawyer disputed those claims and said they were working to recover the money.

Did anyone in Detroit around Stoepel and Westfield that afternoon or afterward see something that could help explain who ambushed Doughboy Roc?
