Corey Harris Thomas was 17 when he was shot and killed on June 6, 2017, after arranging to meet someone to sell a pair of Air Jordan sneakers. The meeting took place at the corner of Fenkell and Pinehurst on Detroit’s west side. Corey, a former student at Grosse Pointe North High School, had been warned by his mother not to meet the buyer, but went anyway and was shot while sitting in a car.

Police arrested 20-year-old Dante Ford and charged him in connection with Corey’s death. Investigators say Ford was also accused of robbing a 16-year-old at gunpoint less than two hours earlier, about two blocks away, in an apparent effort to take another pair of Jordan shoes. Ford faced nine felony counts, including murder, and later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.

At sentencing the judge criticized Ford’s actions and Corey's parents described their loss and the steps they had taken to protect him. Does anyone have information about the meeting location or saw activity near Fenkell and Pinehurst that afternoon?
