On June 2, 2014, 28-year-old Ali Mohammad Mc-Zick was killed in Flint, Michigan, when he was struck by gunfire while standing at a bus stop near Welch Boulevard and Martin Luther King Avenue. Mc-Zick, a Black man who had recently moved from Detroit, was taken to Hurley Medical Center but died of his wounds. He was a father of five, a Finney High School graduate who briefly attended Mott Community College, and was remembered by family and friends for his devotion to his children, interest in music, and love of travel.

Police identified 22-year-old Daron Ramone Gaylor Jr. as the suspected gunman and launched a manhunt. After a separate fatal shooting on July 5, 2014, in which Tyrell Gaylor — who had been critically injured in the June 2 attack — was killed, authorities named Daron Gaylor Jr. a person of interest in that death as well. A July 9, 2014 standoff ended when officers found Gaylor dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the attic; one trooper had been wounded during the confrontation. Gaylor’s death meant there was no trial in Mc-Zick’s killing.

Anyone who knew Ali Mc-Zick or saw activity near Welch and Martin Luther King Avenue on June 2, 2014 is asked to come forward with information.
