Dakari Mitchell, 21, was shot and killed while sitting in the driver’s seat of his vehicle at the intersection of Magnolia and Glenwood streets in Inkster, Michigan. He had arranged to meet someone on February 7, 2016 to buy a PlayStation 4 that he’d seen advertised online and told a relative of his plans before leaving. He never returned home.

Witnesses described the suspect as a Black male with short dreadlocks wearing a dark-colored jacket; that person was reportedly seen getting into the back of a dark-colored vehicle that then fled. The circumstances resembled another homicide in the same area a week earlier, in which a man was killed after being lured for an online sale, but authorities did not definitively link the two cases. The investigation into Mitchell’s murder was ongoing and no arrests had been publicly announced as of late 2025.

Did anyone who lived or worked near Magnolia and Glenwood in February 2016 see a dark-colored vehicle or a man with short dreadlocks that could help investigators?
