Joseph Austin McClendon, 21, of Redford, Michigan, was found shot to death in his copper-colored Ford Explorer on the side of Henry Ruff Road in Westland on March 28, 2015. Police responding to reports of gunfire discovered him deceased in the vehicle after multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators learned McClendon had arranged to buy a handgun from two people and that the meeting turned deadly. Evidence at the scene included multiple 9 mm and .40-caliber shell casings. Three suspects were identified and taken into custody: two men, Arlandus Nolen II and Daveion Dix, were arrested for their involvement in the shooting, and Nolen’s father was arrested on accessory charges. The motive was described as a gun deal gone wrong.

Are there details from that night or about Joseph’s movements beforehand that anyone can add?
