Jason Guzik was 25 and a graduate student and chemical engineer when he was killed on the evening of October 12, 1995. He was in the parking lot of a Farmer Jack grocery store on Telegraph Road in Sterling Heights, Michigan, when a 16-year-old assailant, identified as Akil Logan, carjacked him and took Guzik’s teal Chevrolet Blazer. Logan shot Guzik at point-blank range with a .22 caliber handgun, killing him instantly.

For several days Logan drove the stolen Blazer with Guzik’s body hidden in the back; the victim’s remains were later found in an alley in Detroit in two garbage bags. The case remained unsolved for several years until a grand jury compelled witness testimony in May 1999 and charges were filed against Akil Logan. In March 2000 Logan was convicted of first-degree premeditated murder and related crimes and received life without parole.

Does anyone have memories of Jason, the Sterling Heights area in 1995, or information that could add detail to the timeline?
