Jasmine Ann ‘Mariee And Her Brother, Detroit, Death Obituary, Shooting: Tragic Departure
The Detroit community is grieving the devastating loss of Jasmine Ann ‘Mariee, 24, and her 19-year-old brother, two of three individuals killed after a vehicle crash escalated into a fatal shooting on the city’s west side during the early hours of April 19, 2026.
According to Detroit Police Department reports, the incident unfolded around 3:00 a.m. in the 21700 block of McNichols Road. What initially appeared to be a two-vehicle collision quickly turned into a violent confrontation. Officers arriving at the scene discovered both damaged vehicles and three victims inside one car suffering from gunshot wounds.

Authorities confirmed the victims were all occupants of the same vehicle, including Jasmine Ann ‘Mariee, her 19-year-old brother—whose name has not yet been publicly released—and another 24-year-old man whose identity is being withheld pending family notification.
