On a tragic Tuesday evening in Flint, Michigan, the life of 22-year-old Henry Lee 'Hank' Moye III was cut short. On September 23, 2014, Moye, a Black male, and another man, 56-year-old Tony Mayes, were found shot in what authorities investigated as a double homicide. The incident occurred on the city's north side, where both men were discovered with fatal gunshot wounds.
Emergency services were dispatched to the scene late at night following reports of gunfire.
Upon their arrival, they found Moye and Mayes, and both were pronounced dead. In the immediate aftermath, details surrounding the circumstances of the shooting were scarce, as law enforcement officials began their investigation into the motive and sequence of events that led to the two men's deaths. The relationship between Moye and Mayes was not immediately made public.
In the days and weeks that followed, the community mourned the loss of both men. Moye was remembered by his family as a loving and caring individual who had a passion for sports, including wrestling and basketball, and enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He was born and raised in Flint, where he attended the local public schools.
Despite the ongoing investigation by the Flint Police Department, information regarding any potential suspects or arrests in the case was not released to the public. Authorities appealed to the community for any information that could lead to a breakthrough in the case. As time passed, the double homicide of Henry Moye and Tony Mayes remained an open and unresolved case, leaving their families and the community awaiting answers and justice for their untimely deaths. The lack of public updates in the years since the incident suggests the case may have gone cold.
