Desmond Letrice Savage Jr., 20, was killed in a drive-by shooting in Flint, Michigan, on November 7, 2016. Described as kind and caring, he ran a small business called Savage ENT and was a son whose life was cut short by gun violence in the city.

Police have not publicly identified suspects or persons of interest, and the investigation produced no significant breakthroughs; the case has since grown cold and remains unsolved. The aftermath deepened the family’s pain when Desmond’s mother, Vernisha Key, arrived at the graveside to find the casket already lowered. She sued Flint Memorial Park for wrongful interference with the right of burial and breach of contract, but the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled against her, finding the circumstances did not meet the legal standard for an emotional distress claim.

Anyone who knew Desmond, his business, or who has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
