(CBS DETROIT) – The family of Joe Chavies IV is seeking answers nearly two years ago after he was fatally shot in Detroit.
Crime Stoppers of Michigan is offering a $2,500 reward for information leading to an arrest.
Officials say Chavies, who was a father, was shot and killed on April 6, 2022, near the intersection of Carmel Street and Troy Place on the city’s west side.
“Joe was a very kind-hearted and loving person, and I wanted to say that if anybody out there knows anything about what may have happened to him, please speak up so his family can have a peace of mind and justice can be served,” Chavies’ mother, Angelique said in a press conference.
“To the person who committed this crime, you know who you are. Come forward … and to be honest, I forgive you. I have prayed for you. I have prayed for your family, although you brought this injustice to my family,” she later said. “We just want you to pay for what you took away from us.”
