On the morning of September 6, 2015, 33-year-old Khari Smith of Detroit was shot to death in a violent incident on the city’s east side that also claimed the life of 27-year-old Demetrius Gatson. A lone gunman reportedly arrived at a residence where both men were present, opened fire, then pursued and shot Gatson, who later died at a hospital about six hours after being wounded. The gunman shot Smith multiple times and, according to reports, Smith’s body was then dragged underneath a vehicle for about a mile and a half before the attacker fled.

The crime scene was described by investigators as extraordinarily disturbing; Mt. Elliot Street was temporarily closed from Warren Avenue to Interstate 94 while the scene was processed. Family members reportedly gave police the identity of a suspected gunman, and investigators later arrested multiple people on charges including homicide, conspiracy, and weapons offenses. Some defendants were convicted and sentenced, while others were acquitted; the cases involved appeals and motions for retrial.

Did anyone in the Detroit community see or hear anything on September 6, 2015, that might still shed light on what happened?
