Senghore Ball was a 16-year-old boy from Detroit who was killed by a single gunshot on May 29, 2014. The shot was fired from inside DJ’s R US, a neighborhood music store near Fenkell and Meyers, and traveled through the store’s front window, striking Senghore in the head as he stood outside. Witnesses described a startling scene: a passing driver heard the bang and saw a man collapse on the sidewalk.

Police said the store owner believed someone inside was behaving in a threatening way and drew a handgun, firing one round. Initial accounts described a possible robbery, but investigators later walked back that characterization while they reviewed what the person inside the shop had been doing when the shot was fired. Senghore was taken to a hospital in critical condition and did not survive. The store owner, who reportedly held a valid concealed pistol license, was detained and questioned and was reported arrested the next day before being released as police considered whether to seek a warrant.

Does anyone have information about Senghore, the scene that day, or what was happening inside the store just before the shot was fired?
