On the morning of August 31, 2014, 23-year-old Jade Lauren Wilson and 18-year-old James Smith were found in the street on Detroit’s west side, both having sustained fatal gunshot wounds. Police investigated the scene as a double homicide. Wilson, born March 16, 1991, was a Black/African American woman who was active in her community and a member of Guiding Light Baptist Church.

Detroit law enforcement later called the investigation cold; no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been made. Crime Stoppers of Michigan has solicited tips as the families continue to seek answers and justice.
