On March 1, 2010, Purcell Carson, 26, was shot and killed in a Detroit home on Glastonbury Road during a violent intrusion that also left 26-year-old Monica Botello dead. Botello’s 8-year-old daughter and a younger sister were visiting; the older child hid in an upstairs bathroom and called 911, pleading for help for her dying mother. Responding officers found Carson dead and Botello critically wounded; she later died.

Police identified two suspects, Derrick Dennard Smith, 42, and another man named Devi Smith. Both men were arrested and later tried on charges connected to the double homicide. Does anyone have information about the victims, the house on Glastonbury Road, or the events that night that could shed light on what happened?
