Deontae Mitchell was 13 when he was abducted and killed after picking up about $70 a man had dropped outside a market in Detroit. He and his cousin were riding bicycles the evening of May 31, 2016, when surveillance footage later showed a man, identified as Gregory Walker, forcibly taking Deontae and throwing him into a car. An Amber Alert was issued and a citywide search began the next morning. Deontae’s body was found in a Detroit field on June 2, 2016; an autopsy concluded he had been tortured and strangled to death.

Investigators identified three suspects: Gregory Walker, then 45; his girlfriend, Lillian Roberts, 43; and her son, Ernest Coleman, 26. Walker and Roberts were arrested in a Toledo motel; Coleman was arrested in Detroit. Prosecutors said Walker, with assistance from Roberts and Coleman, beat and choked Deontae in retaliation for taking the money. All three later pleaded guilty; Walker received 40 to 60 years, Roberts 24 to 40 years, and Coleman 12 to 15 years.

Does anyone have information about Deontae’s last evening or the area around the market that could help clarify what happened?
