Corporal Jason Anthony Makowski, 31, was killed in the line of duty after being shot on the evening of May 24, 2006, in Dearborn Heights, Michigan. An 11-year veteran of the Dearborn Heights Police Department, he left behind a young son and came from a family with several members who also served in the local police department.

Officers responded after 911 calls reported a man armed with a handgun arguing with garbage workers near Joy and Beech Daly Roads and ordering neighbors inside, reportedly warning there was going to be some killing soon. While officers were interviewing witnesses, the gunman appeared at his front door and began shooting. The suspect retreated into his home and kept firing; Makowski was struck in the face by a .45-caliber bullet while the shooter continued to fire from cover. Other officers were prevented from reaching him until another officer, armed with a rifle, shot and killed the suspect. Makowski was taken to hospital and then airlifted to the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor, where he died in the early hours of May 25, 2006.

Who in Dearborn Heights might have known Corporal Makowski or seen activity near Joy and Beech Daly Roads that night and can help fill in details?
