A $7,500 reward is being offered by Crime Stoppers of Michigan for information leading to the arrest in a tragic 2021 hit-and-run of a Southfield man, bound to a wheelchair. On that fateful July 4 morning, 28-year-old Tarrie Daniel's life was abruptly cut short when his motorized wheelchair was struck on Martha Washington Drive as he made his journey home.
As stated by authorities, Daniel was hit at 6:45 a.m., then was dragged approximately 220 feet by an unidentified suspect driving a Jaguar XF model between the years 2009 to 2011. The color of the offending vehicle remains unknown despite initial claims suggesting it was silver, as per reports from FOX 2 Detroit.
CBS Detroit shared that despite Daniel being born with cerebral palsy, he forged a life of independence and service, graduating from Southfield High School and representing his middle school in the Special Olympics. "Tarrie was known for volunteering his time, helping neighbors get their trash containers to and from curbside on trash day. He was a very active, independent individual who enjoyed hanging out with friends who enjoyed having him around," per CBS News Detroit.
The pursuit of justice has not waned as Daniel's family continues their poignant quest for closure. They are seeking answers to identify the individual responsible for tearing a vibrant soul from their embrace. In echoes of their plea, ClickOnDetroit conveyed the family's sentiments and the details of the Crime Stoppers reward hoping public input might finally turn the tide in this case.
Those with knowledge of the incident are encouraged to come forward. You can make an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers by dialing 1-800 SPEAK-UP or by visiting their website at 1800speakup.org. Their commitment remains firm: your identity will remain 100% anonymous, as they seek only to bring justice for Tarrie Daniel.
