On a Sunday in August 2009, 21-year-old drummer Matthew Landry left his girlfriend’s house in Chesterfield Township to run errands and was abducted at gunpoint in the parking lot of a Quiznos in Eastpointe. An eyewitness called 911 after seeing a struggle and reported that two men were trying to force Landry into the trunk of his car. His family grew concerned when his mother, Doreen, noticed three separate $100 ATM withdrawals from his account in a high-crime area of Detroit.

Police found Landry’s body on August 13, 2009, in a vacant, burned-out house on Maddelein Street in Detroit; he had been shot execution-style in the back of the head. Investigators say Landry was an innocent, random victim of a crime spree. The two teenagers accused of the abduction — 17-year-old Ihab Masalmani and 16-year-old Robert Taylor — were linked to the case by surveillance footage and witness accounts after committing other crimes, including a bank robbery and an attempted carjacking.

Does anyone have information about Landry’s last known movements or the Quiznos parking lot that could shed more light on what happened?
