Devante L. Hanson, 22, was fatally shot on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 27, 2016, in Flint, Michigan. He was found in the driver’s seat of a car outside an apartment complex with multiple gunshot wounds to his chest and abdomen and later died at Hurley Medical Center; the death was ruled a homicide.

Flint Police detectives identified three men as suspects: Donald Wayne Davis, Spencer Holiday, and James Martin Elbert III. Court records link the shooting to an alleged armed robbery. Davis faced multiple counts including felony murder, first-degree premeditated murder, and assault with intent to rob while armed. Holiday was initially charged with open murder but later pleaded guilty to manslaughter and a felony-firearm charge as part of a plea agreement. Elbert III is named as a co-defendant; available documents do not clearly detail his specific charges or outcome.

Does anyone have information about Hanson’s final movements that afternoon or about the events outside the apartment complex?
