De-Angelo Smith Owens, 25, was one of three men killed in an early morning shooting at a house on Brace Street in Detroit on June 6, 2016. Neighbors reported hearing multiple gunshots around 5 a.m. Police found Owens and 15-year-old Jaden Dorris shot to death inside the home, apparently while they slept; 22-year-old Errick Durham was found near the side door. Investigators noted forced entry in the basement and described the house as a known drug house with prior police raids after neighbors’ complaints.

Police treated the incident as a targeted act, but the case has gone cold and no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified. Owens, a father of four with another child expected, had family who disputed the killings were drug-related; his mother said she believed he had been trying to mediate a neighborhood dispute. Crime Stoppers of Michigan is offering a cash reward for information leading to an arrest.

If anyone has information about what happened on Brace Street that morning, please come forward.
