DETROIT – A family is still searching for answers more than two years after a 25-year-old man was fatally shot on Detroit's west side.
Demetrius Evans was slain around 2 a.m. on Nov. 7, 2015, near Wyoming Avenue and I-96, according to police.
Officials said Evans and a friend were in his blue 2005 Dodge Magnum with tinted windows following another car to a birthday party. The two cars pulled over to a gas station in the area and shots were fired from an unknown vehicle, possibly an older red Chrysler 200, police said.
Evans was struck by a bullet and killed.
Evans was a graduate of Madison Heights High School, where he helped the school's football team win a state championship. He graduated from Oakland University with a degree in mechanical engineering.
Evans was working as an engineer at the Art Van plant in Warren when he was killed.
