Keyshawn Jamar Abraham was 15 when he was shot while riding a bicycle near Ray Street and Tubman on Saginaw’s southeast side. On September 4, 2016, he was talking on his cellphone when a silver or white car pulled up, the driver asked who he was talking to, then reached out of the window and shot him in the abdomen. First responders found him critically wounded; he gave a brief description of the shooter as a Black male with dreadlocks in a silver vehicle before being taken to the hospital. Keyshawn was later transferred to the University of Michigan Medical Center and died of his injuries on September 9, 2016.

The investigation identified Jermaine Donell Horrison as the shooter after two fellow gang members independently named him. Horrison was arrested and charged with first-degree premeditated murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. At trial, witnesses including the passenger Demetrius Frierson and associate Desmon Reynolds testified for the prosecution; the jury convicted Horrison of first-degree premeditated murder and felony-firearm. Horrison was sentenced to life in prison for the murder plus two years for the firearm offense. Keyshawn’s mother delivered an impact statement at sentencing describing the family’s loss.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see the silver or white car that day or hear what was said during that brief exchange?
