On May 6, 2017, 39-year-old Murray Upshaw, who was visually impaired, was shot and killed in his home on Epworth Street in Detroit. The same attack also killed 27-year-old Sharietta Jefferson. The shooting followed a verbal altercation that escalated into deadly violence.

Investigators quickly focused on a family member. Upshaw’s son, Dante Louis Coker (also known as Dante Binion), was identified as the suspect; he fled the scene but was arrested by Detroit police the next day at the corner of East Warren and Eastlawn. At the time of his death Upshaw was a new father to a baby girl.
