On July 1, 2014, two-year-old Kamiya LaShawn Gross was shot in the head at point-blank range while sitting in a car in front of her family’s home in Inkster, Michigan. Her father, Kenneth French, and a family friend were also wounded; investigators concluded the attack was targeted retaliation against French.

Prosecutors said the shooting was premeditated: 25-year-old Raymone Jackson approached the vehicle and fired while 30-year-old Raphael Hearn acted as the getaway driver. Kamiya died; the community held a funeral attended by hundreds on what would have been her third birthday.

In March 2015 Jackson was convicted of first-degree murder, torture and two counts of assault with intent to murder, and Hearn was found guilty of first-degree murder. Both received life sentences without parole. Did anyone from Inkster who knew the family or saw activity in that neighborhood around July 2014 come forward with information?
