On August 10, 2015, shots were fired into a north-side Flint home, killing 70-year-old Rita Ann Langworthy and a young child, Genesis General Tyler. Langworthy, a White retired educator and longtime elementary school administrator, had been caring for Genesis and his siblings in retirement and was active at First Presbyterian Church of Flint; the children regarded her as a grandmother. Several other children were in the home at the time and were unharmed.

The motive for the shooting was not immediately clear and no arrests were announced in the immediate aftermath. In the years since, the case has grown cold with no publicly announced suspects or arrests, leaving the deaths of Langworthy and Genesis unsolved.
