On a cold winter evening in Detroit, 38-year-old Deandre Shaw, a male, was found murdered on the city's west side. The discovery was made at 10:20 p.m. on Monday, February 25, 2013, in the driveway of a vacant house in the 8000 block of Rutherford near Ellis Street. He had been shot multiple times.
The killing left his family with the enduring pain of not knowing who was responsible or why his life was taken.
His mother, Jacqulyn Shaw, has spoken of the terrifying feeling that comes with the absence of answers. The family believes that Deandre may have known his killer, a thought that his brother, Larico Andre, finds particularly devastating. His aunt, Kimberly Foster, remembered him as a man who was loved by those who knew him and who would do anything for anybody.
In the time since his death, the search for the person or persons responsible has continued. The case remains unsolved, and no arrests have been made. Crime Stoppers has offered a reward for any information that could lead to a break in the case and bring a measure of peace to his grieving family. The lack of closure has left a void for his loved ones, who continue to hope for justice for Deandre.
