In the summer of 2015, Orlando Thigpen, a 37-year-old Black man, was shot and killed outside a Lakeside Apartment complex in Flint, Michigan. The shooting followed an argument on August 10; Thigpen suffered a gunshot wound to his upper chest and was taken to Hurley Medical Center, where he later died.

Authorities arrested 24-year-old Jacquell D. Johnson of Mount Morris Township less than a week after the shooting. He was charged with first-degree murder, felony firearm, and carrying a concealed weapon and was arraigned and held without bond. In December 2015 Johnson pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and a felony firearm charge. He was sentenced in early 2016 to 17 to 40 years for second-degree murder plus a mandatory two-year term for the felony firearm charge, to be served consecutively.

If anyone knew Orlando, his whereabouts that night, or has information about the events outside the Lakeside Apartment complex, please share what you know.
