On the afternoon of August 20, 2015, Renee Bradford, a 51-year-old Black woman, was standing outside a car on Detroit’s east side having a conversation when a passing vehicle fired into the group. An occupant’s shots struck and killed Bradford; police described the incident as a gang-related drive-by shooting in which she was an unintended victim caught in crossfire.

The man she was speaking with, 38-year-old Eric Carter, was hit multiple times and survived in critical condition. Investigators identified Carter as the likely target; he was described as the reputed leader of the Ravendale street gang and had recently been arrested in a federal crackdown but released on bond. Authorities said the shooting appeared intended to intimidate Carter and his twin brother, Derek Carter, and police warned they would work to prevent retaliatory violence.

Did anyone in Detroit at the time see or hear anything that might shed light on who fired into that vehicle?
