Dontae Deshawn Norris was a 20-year-old from Detroit with military and academic ambitions. A 2012 graduate of Cody High School, he had been active in JROTC, joined the Army Reserve National Guard in 2012, and attended Wilberforce University. Described as hardworking, protective and planning for a future that included travel, he had held jobs since age 14.

On the evening of July 28, 2014, at about 8:30 p.m., Dontae was shot in the parking lot of the Superland Market on Schoolcraft Road while getting out of his car. Prosecutors say two men, identified as Devon Berry and Eric Chandler, confronted him in what they describe as a carjacking. Berry allegedly pointed a gun, the pair drove off in Dontae’s vehicle, and Dontae jumped onto the car and held the roof before being fatally shot in the chest. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead on arrival.

Eric Chandler, 19, and Devon Berry, 21, were later charged by the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office with felony murder and first-degree premeditated murder; Berry also faced a felony firearm charge. Did anyone who knew Dontae or worked at Superland Market see or hear anything that night?
