On the evening of May 25, 1995, Detroit Police Officer Jerry Foster Philpot II, 28, was killed in Southwest Detroit around 9:30 p.m. The shooting was described as suspected gang gunfire and involved an AK-47 assault rifle. Philpot had served six years on the department and had earned two citations and a lifesaving award. He left behind a wife, a 7-month-old child, his parents, and siblings.

In the immediate aftermath one suspect was fatally wounded at the scene and three other individuals were taken into custody. Investigators identified 18-year-old Scott Lee Younes as the man who fired the fatal shots; charges were brought against him and others connected to the incident. Does anyone have memories of that night or information that could shed light on the shooting?
