Jeremy Wagner, a 36-year-old White male, was working as a valet attendant in the city of Detroit, Michigan. His life was brought to a sudden and violent end during an encounter at his job on March 16, 2010.
According to the Detroit Police Department, Jeremy got into an argument with a man named Kevin Hill. The dispute escalated into a physical fight between the two men. Following the altercation, Hill got into his vehicle, fatally struck Jeremy with the car, and then drove off, leaving the scene.
Investigators identified Kevin Hill as the person responsible for Jeremy’s death, and a murder warrant was issued for his arrest. For more than a year, Hill remained a fugitive, successfully evading capture by law enforcement. The search for him continued until a routine traffic stop brought an unexpected break in the case.
On May 2, 2011, Detroit police officers pulled Hill over for a traffic violation.
When asked for identification, Hill presented a fraudulent Michigan State I.D. card. Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee later credited the officers’ training in detecting fake documents, stating they “were able to detect almost immediately that something was amiss.” A deeper investigation at the scene revealed the driver's true identity was Kevin Hill, the man wanted in connection with Jeremy Wagner's death. Hill was arrested and taken into custody. The last reported development was his arrest in May 2011.
