Curtis Louis Goodman Jr., 24, was shot and killed outside downtown Detroit following a birthday night out. On October 24–25, 2014, an argument near the Executive Cigar Bar by Campus Martius between Goodman’s group and five other men escalated into a fight in a nearby parking lot. As Goodman and his friends left in a vehicle, someone opened fire into the car; Goodman was struck in the head and pronounced dead at the scene.

Goodman, a Black man who worked at Chrysler and was described by family as mild-mannered and the man of his family, was remembered as a diligent worker and a basketball enthusiast. Detroit police reviewed area surveillance footage and appealed to the public for help identifying the assailants; one of the men was described as having dreadlocks. No public arrest has been reported and the case remained unresolved.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about the men involved, please share what is known with Detroit authorities.
