Dakarie McKinnie was 20 when he was shot and killed on the west side of Detroit on the evening of Friday, June 20, 2014. A former track standout at South Plains College, he had recently started working at a Chrysler plant and was taking classes to become a heating and cooling technician. He and his girlfriend were expecting their first child.

McKinnie was heading to his girlfriend’s house near Wyoming Street and Pembroke Avenue when he was shot multiple times and left in the street. His mother, LaVerne McKinnie, addressed the Detroit City Council about the family’s fear and the harassment they say followed the killing. The Detroit Police Department has an open investigation but no arrests have been announced.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact Crime Stoppers.
