Stephen Plitt, 23, was killed in the early hours of Saturday, March 18, 2017, after a burst of gunfire on the 1200 block of Garfield Avenue in Lincoln Park. The shooting happened about 3:30 a.m.; two people were struck and rushed to Detroit Receiving Hospital. Plitt did not survive; the other victim underwent surgery and was expected to recover. Witnesses saw two people running from the scene.

Lincoln Park police quickly identified a suspect as Lloyd Nathaniel Ray of Inkster and said the person was armed and dangerous while a warrant process was underway. The family described Plitt as someone who wanted a simple, steady future and pleaded for information as officers searched. Ray later turned himself in to Lincoln Park police on May 1, 2017, accompanied by legal counsel, and authorities said he was responsible for the shootings.

What details about that night or the neighborhood could help anyone who remembers seeing activity on Garfield Avenue around 3:30 a.m. on March 18, 2017?
