Martel Taylor was 18 when he was fatally shot in Detroit’s Greektown shortly before midnight on June 21, 2015. The shooting took place in an alley on Monroe Street after a fight among a group of men; a 21-year-old man was also wounded. The assault allegedly continued when the assailant pursued the group and opened fire.

The Detroit Police Department investigated using surveillance footage and public tips and identified a suspect. Police charged 22-year-old Denzel Lee Talbert of Detroit with murder, attempted murder, and felony firearm. Talbert appeared for a probable cause hearing in early July 2015 and a preliminary examination was scheduled later that month.

Who in the Greektown area that night might have seen the fight or the person who opened fire?
