Cedric L. Horn, a 59-year-old male, was senselessly killed on the evening of December 8, 2014, in what police have described as a road rage incident in Detroit, Michigan. He was driving on I-94 near the French Road exit when he was fatally shot. The altercation is believed to have started on I-75 and escalated as the vehicles continued onto I-94. The sudden and violent nature of his death left his family and community in shock, grappling with the loss of a man described as having left an
unbelievable mark and legacy.
At the time of his death, Cedric was a cherished employee at Henry Ford Hospital in Wyandotte, where he worked as a distributor and had been promoted to supply chain manager. His colleagues held a touching tribute in his honor, releasing 59 balloons to commemorate his life and creating a special ornament with his picture and name engraved on it. This gesture highlighted the deep impact he had on those he worked with and the void his absence created. He was remembered as a man who touched many lives.
In the wake of the shooting, Cedric's family made public pleas for any witnesses to come forward with information that could lead to the arrest of the person or persons responsible for his death. His son, Sean Lee, urged anyone who might have been on the roads between 10:00 and 10:30 p.m. on the night of the incident and witnessed an erratic car or any part of the altercation to contact the authorities. Despite these appeals for information, there have been no publicly announced arrests or identification of suspects in connection with the murder of Cedric Horn, and the case remains unsolved. The lack of closure has compounded the grief for his loved ones, who remember him as a great man.
