Dominique DJ Nolff was a 20-year-old Michigan State University student who was shot during a robbery at his off-campus Cedar Village apartment in East Lansing on the evening of January 31, 2014. A man came to the apartment intending to steal medical marijuana and a laptop; a handgun was fired during a struggle. Nolff was struck by multiple bullets, taken to a nearby hospital, and pronounced dead on February 1, 2014. His roommate was also shot but survived.

Investigators identified 19-year-old Marquay McCoy of Grand Rapids as the suspect. McCoy, who was on parole at the time, was arrested and charged in the case. In March 2015 McCoy pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and armed robbery; a month later he received a 32 to 48 year prison sentence for his role in Nolff’s death.
