On December 1, 2015, 13-year-old Aaliayah Thomas was fatally shot while riding as a passenger in a black Dodge Charger parked near a party store at Hayes and Troester on Detroit’s east side. Two gunmen approached the car and opened fire; surveillance video shows the assailants shooting before fleeing. Investigators say Aaliayah was not the intended target but an innocent victim in a gang-related attack aimed at 21-year-old Stevan Henderson, who was also killed.

The shooting wounded other children who were at the scene: a 13-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy were sitting on the car’s hood and were injured when Henderson tried to drive away, causing a crash. Authorities tied the assault to a gang rivalry and later identified the shooters as members of the 6 Mile Chedda Grove gang.

Does anyone have information about Aaliayah, where she spent time, or about the attack that could help clarify what happened that night?
