Eugene Landyon Jr., 20, was fatally shot during a carjacking in Detroit on January 26, 2015. He had been driving a 1978 Chevy El Camino he and his father, Eugene Landyon Sr., had restored together. The two had spoken briefly that Saturday evening before leaving on separate errands; Eugene Sr. later discovered his son had been killed when he encountered the crime scene lights and received the news at a hospital.

Police found the El Camino the next day not far from the gas station where the shooting occurred. Investigators released a sketch of a person of interest described as a male about 19 to 20 years old, roughly 5 feet 7 inches and 150 pounds, with thick eyebrows, a mustache and goatee, last seen in a blue hooded Carhartt jacket and black pants. CrimeStoppers offered a reward for information. The family held a candlelight vigil before Eugene’s funeral on the city’s west side.

If anyone knew Eugene, his routines, or saw the El Camino or someone matching that description near the gas station that night, please come forward with what you remember.
