On the early morning of July 2, 2024, a violent incident unfolded in Saginaw, Michigan, claiming the life of Darius Horrison. The 29-year-old Black African American male was discovered unresponsive inside a vehicle parked at the Stop 'N' Shop party store located at 1227 Janes Street. Officers from the Saginaw Police Department were dispatched to the scene at approximately 1:10 a.m. following reports of the incident.
Upon arrival, law enforcement found that Horrison had sustained fatal gunshot wounds. He was urgently transported to St. Mary's Ascension Hospital for medical treatment but was subsequently pronounced dead. The shooting marked the twelfth homicide in the city of Saginaw for the year 2024, deepening the community's concerns regarding local gun violence.
Horrison, who was affectionately known to friends and family as Beecie Fame, was a resident of Saginaw and a father to a young daughter. He was remembered in his obituary as a talented self-taught musician who could play multiple instruments and enjoyed writing and performing music. Born in December 1994 to parents Bobbie Horrison and Larry Thomas, he was described by those who knew him as a humorous and kind gentleman whose loss was felt deeply by his extended family and social circle.
As of the most recent available reports, no arrests have been made in connection with Horrison's death, and no specific suspects have been publicly named by authorities. The investigation remains active, with the Saginaw Police Department urging anyone with information about the shooting to come forward. Detective Moses Marrero was assigned to the case, and anonymous tips could be directed to Crime Stoppers as the search for those responsible continues.
