Patrick Michael Prohm, 32, was killed in the line of duty in Detroit in the early hours of January 9, 1996. While following a stolen Cadillac just after 12:30 a.m., he waited for backup and moved to stop the vehicle at about 12:46 a.m. at Charlevoix Street and Joseph Campau Avenue. As officers attempted the arrest, the driver exited and fired one shot from a handgun that struck Officer Prohm in the head; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Other officers returned fire and the driver was taken into custody, initially thought uninjured. At a detention area it was discovered he had a fatal chest wound concealed by a large puffy jacket and later was identified as a suspect in a multiple shooting in Kalamazoo the night before. Prohm had served with the Detroit Police Department for just over two years and was survived by three children, his parents, and six siblings.

Did anyone in the Detroit area at the time have information about the stolen Cadillac or the events that night?
