On the early morning of January 1, 2017, a party on Faust Street near Tireman Avenue in Detroit ended in tragedy when gunfire killed 39-year-old Lavar Edwards and his 21-year-old son, Dewan Davis. Witnesses reported the two men were screaming outside shortly before shots rang out around 4 a.m. Both were described as very close and worked together; Dewan had recently become a father to a nine-month-old daughter.

The Detroit Police Department opened an investigation into the double homicide. In the days after the shooting authorities had not publicly identified suspects or made arrests, and the family issued public appeals for anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone have information about that night or remember seeing anything on Faust Street around 4 a.m. on January 1, 2017 that could help investigators?
