Nearly two years after 35-year-old Jaret Mays was shot and killed in Clinton Township, Crime Stoppers of Michigan is putting up to $2,500 on the line for information that leads to an arrest. The organization says tips can be shared anonymously through its 1‑800‑SPEAK‑UP hotline or by using its online tip form.
Reward posted this week lists scene and timeline
The reward notice posted yesterday states that the shooting happened in the 20,000 block of Weybridge near Little Mack and that Mays was returning home at about 12:45 a.m. on July 4, 2024, when he was shot, according to ClickOnDetroit. The posting urges anyone who knows something, no matter how small it might seem, to call Crime Stoppers at 1‑800‑SPEAK‑UP or submit a tip through the group’s website.
What July 2024 reports said about the scene
When the killing first made headlines in July 2024, police said they found Mays in the parking lot of the Peachtree Apartments. FOX 2 Detroit reported that officers discovered him with multiple gunshot wounds. Coverage at the time prompted a candlelight vigil as neighbors, friends, and relatives gathered to demand answers.
Family pleads for justice
At that vigil, family members described Mays as a devoted father and a steady presence in their community, and they called on anyone with information to speak up, according to WXYZ. That report also listed the Clinton Township Police Investigation Bureau at (586) 493‑7839 for people who want to talk directly with detectives.
How to submit an anonymous tip
According to Crime Stoppers of Michigan, callers who dial 1‑800‑SPEAK‑UP are connected with an operator who takes down the details of the tip and provides a reference number. Tips that result in an arrest are eligible for rewards of up to $2,500, which are paid out anonymously. The FAQ explains that rewards are processed only after law enforcement confirms the tip led to an arrest and that tipsters are not required to testify.
Investigation status and next steps
Authorities have not announced any arrests in connection with Mays’ killing, and the new cash reward is a fresh push to get the public talking nearly two years after the shooting. Local coverage and the Crime Stoppers posting state that detectives are still looking for witnesses and information that might move the case forward, according to Crime Stoppers of Michigan.
