Ben Keys was 29 when he was found shot to death in Detroit on April 30, 2014. He and a woman named Laura Zechman were discovered inside a vehicle, both suffering fatal gunshot wounds.

Investigators linked their deaths to a November 6, 2013 shooting at the Eastside Barbershop, determining the killings were part of a series of retaliatory acts. Authorities say the slayings were planned and carried out as hired executions connected to that earlier incident.

Two men, Antonio Caddell and Ricco William-Salmon, were arrested and charged with first-degree premeditated murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and felony firearm possession. A jury found both guilty; they were sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Did anyone know Ben or Laura, or have information about the Eastside Barbershop shooting that could shed more light on why they were targeted?
