Nelda Grant, 51, and her 22-year-old daughter, Rachel Johnson, were murdered in their Detroit home on the 18000 block of Dean Street on December 21, 2006. Nelda, a charter school teacher, returned home shortly after midnight to find Rachel shot. While calling 911 and her brother, Nelda was also shot and killed; Rachel’s 3-year-old daughter was in the house and was not physically harmed.

Authorities identified the suspect as Donnell Ramon Johnson, Rachel’s boyfriend. Rachel had been trying to end the relationship, and Nelda had previously barred Donnell from the home after he stole and later returned a family gun. A 16-hour manhunt ended with Donnell Ramon Johnson’s arrest around 4:30 p.m. on December 22, 2006.

Are there details about Rachel or Nelda’s lives, or about the neighborhood that could help readers who remember that night share relevant information?
