Eight years after the murder of Detroit father Darrin Wyatt, his family continues to seek justice in a heartbreaking plea. Darrin, a 24-year-old father of three who had recently started his own construction company, was shot and killed in his grandmother’s home on January 18, 2016. The family wants closure, but no suspects have been arrested. Lakita Wyatt, Darrin’s mother, now asks anyone with knowledge to help solve the unsolved crime that has haunted them life.
Father’s Dream Broken, Morning of January 18, 2016
That morning, Darrin Wyatt’s promising life ended tragically. A stranger broke a window at his grandmother’s Detroit home on Vancourt Avenue while he was there. Darrin’s grandma, daughter, girlfriend, her children, and cousin witnessed the incident. The family remembers hearing glass shatter, which started a chain of events that killed Darrin.
Darrin Wyatt bravely descended the stairs after hearing the commotion. He encountered a merciless gunman who shot him twelve times. His sister Shakari Wyatt called Darrin the “foundation of the family” and his unexpected death shattered the close-knit family. Darrin’s family lost laughter and joy due to the inexplicable violence.
Darrin’s family persists in seeking closure and justice. In an emotional plea, Lakita Wyatt asks anyone with information about her son’s murder to come forward and solve the mystery. Lack of knowledge about the purpose behind the targeted attack on a residence with generations-old family roots adds to the family’s agony.
