“It’s kinda sad that he had to go that way. He was a major pillar in this community. I actually got on some of his Jewelry now. RIP my boy,” said George, a community member.
More than just the friendly face, Hutch was always a bright light in his community, a statement clearly evident by the amount of people gathering to pay their respects.
“Great guy. Very charismatic. Had a great personality. He would give you the shirt of his back and he had a lot of knowledge about both jewelry and about the community. He was passionate about it,” Green said.

“He was really community oriented,” Green said. “He loved the community. He loved giving back. He was passionate. About it as well. I’m gonna really miss him a lot man. He was a mentor and he really gave a lot of people inspiration as far as the city was concerned with Detroit. So this is an (L) for us man.”
Roy Larry has been charged with first degree murder and felony firearm. He was denied bond.
