Devin McCain, 20, was found dead in front of a two-family home in Jackson, Michigan, on October 28, 2005, having sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the head. The killing followed an earlier dispute between McCain and a member of a local gang; McCain reportedly had no gang affiliation but received threats after the altercation. About a month later, three armed men including the gang member confronted McCain at an apartment, and he was shot as he was exiting.

Investigators identified James Whetstone as a suspect. Whetstone was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. A jury acquitted him of first-degree murder but convicted him of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, a verdict reportedly supported by testimony that Whetstone confessed and referenced the killing during a later armed robbery. He was sentenced to life in prison and an appeal to the Michigan Court of Appeals failed to overturn the conviction. McCain was buried at Woodland Cemetery in Jackson.

Does anyone have additional details about the confrontation that night or witnesses who came forward?
