On a Saturday morning in Detroit, what began as a visit to the city for Jeremy Quintin Cornett, a 37-year-old male, ended in a fatal encounter. On September 15, 2012, Cornett and two friends, Shane Taylor and Seth Ryan Brown, were seated in a parked Buick Century on the 6900 block of Minock Street on the city's west side. The group had traveled to Detroit from Letcher County, Kentucky, along with a female companion who was inside a nearby house at the time of the incident.
Around 10:20
a.m., two individuals approached the vehicle in an attempted robbery. During the commission of the crime, shots were fired into the car. Cornett was fatally wounded in the attack. His two friends, Taylor and Brown, also sustained gunshot wounds and were transported to a local hospital for treatment of what were described as 'temporary serious' injuries.
Detroit Police were called to the scene, and an investigation was launched into the shooting. The suspects fled after the incident, and authorities began a search for two men in connection with the murder of Jeremy Cornett and the assault on his friends. The initial investigation focused on gathering evidence from the scene and witness statements to identify the perpetrators.
Despite the immediate investigation and the public reporting of the crime, information regarding any subsequent arrests, the identification of suspects, or any legal proceedings in the case has not been made publicly available in the years that followed. The case of who was responsible for the death of Jeremy Cornett remains without a publicly documented resolution.
