Anthony Hardie was a 50-year-old Detroit resident working part time as a maintenance man when he was shot multiple times while painting the interior of a vacant unit at the Pike Street Apartments in Pontiac, Michigan on April 25, 2015.

Witnesses saw a man walk away from the scene and discard an object into a nearby dumpster. Deputies from the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office recovered a semi-automatic pistol from that dumpster; the gun was later identified as having been stolen from DeKalb County, Georgia. The man seen leaving was identified as 41-year-old Sammy Hall of Pontiac, who was located and arrested that same night and charged with first-degree premeditated murder and felony firearm. Bond was denied and he was held in the county jail.

A jury convicted Sammy Hall of first-degree premeditated murder and felony firearm on April 14, 2016, and he was sentenced to life without parole plus two years for the firearm count. Does anyone have information about Hardie’s life or the circumstances that day that could shed light on why he was targeted?
