Herbert Cleaves, 27, was killed in a drive-by shooting in Flint, Michigan, in the early hours of a Sunday around 2 a.m. Two vehicles passed a home and opened fire; Cleaves was struck in the abdomen, taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. His younger brother, Mateen Cleaves, was then a rookie with the Detroit Pistons and a former Michigan State standout.

Investigators treated the incident as a targeted act but said Herbert was likely not the intended victim. Authorities believed the shooters were searching for a companion of Cleaves against whom they held a grudge, and several eyewitnesses reportedly cooperated with the investigation. Warrants were issued and two suspects surrendered: 19-year-old Jaroy L. Davis, charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder and possession of a firearm during a felony; and 23-year-old Dontrell Y. Smith of Flint, charged with open murder, conspiracy to commit murder, assault with intent to commit murder and a felony firearm charge. Both were held without bond and prosecutors said additional suspects were being sought.

Did anyone in Flint see or hear anything that night that could help clarify who else was involved?
