In the autumn of 2017, the life of Dewayne A. Larkin, a 30-year-old male, was tragically cut short in Flint, Michigan. On the evening of Thursday, October 5, 2017, Larkin was discovered with a gunshot wound to his chest. The incident unfolded at the Mass Transportation Authority Transit Center, located at the intersection of Harrison and 2nd streets in the downtown area of the city. Emergency services responded, and he was quickly transported to Hurley Medical Center for treatment.
Despite the efforts of medical staff, Dewayne Larkin succumbed to his injuries and passed away that same day.
The investigation into his death was handled by the Flint Police Department, with assistance from the Michigan State Police. Authorities classified Larkin's death as a homicide, prompting a search for those responsible. However, details surrounding the circumstances of the shooting have remained scarce in the public domain. In the years that have followed, there have been no significant updates released by law enforcement regarding any potential suspects or arrests made in connection with the case.
The case of Dewayne Larkin's unsolved murder is further complicated by what some have pointed to as a lack of public disclosure from the Flint Police Department regarding all homicides that occurred in the city that year. It has been reported that out of 44 homicides in Flint in 2017, only 41 were publicly disclosed, with Larkin's case being one of those not accompanied by a press release. As a result, his murder remains an open and unresolved case. Law enforcement and his family continue to hope that new information will surface, leading to justice for Dewayne Larkin.
