A July 2, 2016 block party on Michigan Avenue near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Pontiac ended in gunfire that killed Andre Isiah Maurice Shaw. Shaw, 36 and known as Lil Dre, was struck by multiple bullets and found on a front porch with a gunshot wound to his chest. He was taken to McLaren Oakland Hospital but died in the early hours of July 3, 2016.

Shaw was a father of three and worked as an auto mechanic at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. He graduated from Pontiac Northern High School and was remembered for his artwork and skills in landscaping and construction. Two people who were reportedly not part of the block party began shooting; despite witnesses, no arrests were announced and the case remained unsolved as of the last noted developments.

If anyone at the July 2 gathering or nearby that night has information that could help identify the shooters, please come forward.
