Richarde Scarborough, 32, was killed late on June 23, 2014, in Detroit when gunfire erupted in a parking lot near Kitchener and Freud streets by the Jefferson Square apartment complex. Scarborough, known to friends as Doughboy, was sitting in the driver’s seat when shots suddenly rang out and he was fatally wounded; others in the car included Shajuan Hicks in the front and Dioneta Abram in the back seat.

Witness accounts diverged during the investigation. Teenager Dontez Abram said he saw Dashean Keith Williams fire into the vehicle and later identified Williams in a photo lineup. Dioneta Abram testified he did not see the shooter but recalled a man nicknamed Tiger, identified in court as Lafayette Hill, approaching the car and asking Hicks to step out before gunfire. Other witnesses gave statements they later recanted or said they had lied, and Williams’s mother disputed a written statement attributed to her.

Police sought Williams in July and he was later arrested and tried; on January 23, 2015, a jury found Williams guilty of first-degree premeditated murder and felony-firearm and he received life without parole plus two years. Did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear anything that night that could clarify who was at the scene?
