In the late summer of 2016, the life of a Detroit man, Brian Ray, came to a violent and tragic end. On September 5th, police were led to his home on the 2600 block of Wabash Street in southwest Detroit following a tip. Inside, they discovered the body of the 45-year-old male, who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
