At 2 a.m. on October 16, 2016 at the 14300 block of Ardmore St. near Six Mile Rd and Schaefer Highway in Detroit, Michigan a birthday party was still going. 15-year-old Jada Rankin's older brother was celebrating his birthday at his grandmother's home.
At the time a car was speeding up and down the road. Her brother would ask the driver to slow down. This apparently angered the driver and opened his car door and shot into the crows. One of the bullets would his Jada in the abdomen and she would die a short time after arriving at the Sinai Grace Hospital.
Police do not have a good description of the gunman, but he's an African American man in his late 20's and early 30's. The vehicle involved was a gray or silver sedan, possibly a mid-2000 Chevy Impala or Lumina. Below is an image of the possible shooter.
A playground has been named after Jada in Detroit. It is called the Jada Simone Rankin playground.
