On the evening of November 30, 2016, Dajuan Arrington, a 43-year-old man, was fatally shot in Detroit, Michigan. The incident occurred at approximately 9:25 p.m. in the parking lot of a Family Dollar store located at 12603 Dexter Avenue, on the city's west side. Arrington had made a stop at the store while on his way to his fiancée's house.
As he was leaving the Family Dollar, and next to his tan GMC Yukon Denali, Arrington was shot multiple times. Despite the public nature of the location, authorities have not publicly identified any suspects or determined a motive for the killing. The case has been described as a homicide, and at the time of the incident, police were seeking information from the public to help move the investigation forward.
Known to his friends and family by the nicknames 'Juan,' 'Big Juan,' and 'Dudda,' Arrington was a graduate of Central High School in Detroit. He was employed as an inspector with Engineered Quality Solutions in Highland Park. His death was met with grief by his family, who have pleaded for answers and closure.
In the years since Arrington's death, his case has remained unsolved. Law enforcement has not announced any arrests or significant breakthroughs in the investigation. Crime Stoppers of Michigan has offered a cash reward of up to $2,500 for any information that leads to the arrest of the individual or individuals responsible for his murder. The case continues to be an open investigation.
