On a Friday night in April 2014, 19-year-old Darryl Smith was shot in the parking lot of East English Village Preparatory Academy on Detroit’s east side after a school Grammy Night performance. Witnesses described a burgundy or red Impala or Grand Am circling the lot; occupants of that vehicle opened fire into a crowd as people were leaving. Smith was taken to a local hospital and died two days later.

Detroit police said the shooting grew out of a dispute between two local street gangs and stressed that Smith was an innocent bystander not involved in gang activity. Darryl’s family remembered him as a good person with goals and a bright future.

If anyone was at the event or saw the car in the parking lot that night, can information be shared to help the investigation?
