On a fateful early morning in Flint, Michigan, the life of 31-year-old Gordon Duehring was tragically cut short. On March 9, 1990, at approximately 4:00 a.m., Duehring was outside his mother's home on the 6700 block of Webster Road when he was fatally shot. He was not alone in this harrowing experience; a 22-year-old woman who was with him at a picnic table in the front yard was also injured in the shooting but ultimately survived.
The incident occurred while his mother was inside the residence, shattering the peace of the family home.
Described by his niece as a 'clown,' Gordon was known for his humor and for being a prankster, a man who brought laughter and joy to his family. His sudden and violent death left a void that has been felt for decades. In the wake of the shooting, the sense of safety and normalcy for his family was irrevocably broken.
Decades have passed since Gordon Duehring was killed, yet the case remains unsolved. His family continues to seek answers and justice for his murder. Law enforcement has periodically revisited the cold case, and a cash reward of up to $2,500 has been offered by Crime Stoppers for any information that leads to an arrest. To this day, no suspects have been publicly identified, and no arrests have been made in connection with the murder. The case stands as a painful, unanswered question for his loved ones who still hope that someone will come forward with the information needed to close this long-standing wound.
