Missing Grand Blanc teenager found dead after attending Detroit party over the weekend

An 18-year-old from Grand Blanc was found dead in a vacant Detroit basement apartment unit on Monday.

Officials say Jacob Hills was found with several gunshot wounds in an apartment building on the 22300 block of West Warren Avenue.

Hills was reported missing on Sunday when he didn’t return home from a believed party he went to with friends. The Grand Blanc teenager reportedly went to a party on Saturday in the West Warren Avenue and Lamphere Street neighborhood along the Detroit and Dearborn Heights border.

Officials say that one of the motives Hills had at the party he was attending was to purchase an AK-47. Hills’ family has since denied this idea.

Police are asking if anyone has any information on who Hills was with, please call Detroit police at 313-596-2260.
