Detroit Police Officer Brian Eric Huff, 42, was killed in the line of duty in the early morning hours of May 3, 2010. Huff and his partner were the first officers to arrive at a Schoenherr Street duplex after a 911 report of shots fired at a location known to be a drug house. About 3:30 a.m., Huff took the lead, announced police, and kicked in the front door. He was met with immediate gunfire from a suspect lying in wait and was struck twice in the head, fatally wounded before he could draw his weapon. Four other officers were wounded as the suspect tried to flee; the gunman, Jason Alexander Gibson, was wounded by return fire and taken into custody. A .45 caliber semi-automatic handgun and about a pound of marijuana were recovered at the scene. Gibson was charged with 17 counts including first-degree murder and murder of a peace officer; following an 18-day trial where DNA and ballistics evidence tied him to the shooting, a jury found him guilty on all counts and he received life without parole on May 5, 2011. Officer Huff was survived by his wife and their 10-year-old son.

Did anyone in the area that night see or hear anything that could add detail about what happened at the Schoenherr Street duplex?
