Four Detroit suburbs youths found slain may be linked to drug war
Four young men from Inkster and Westland were found shot in the head beside a 1970 green Cadillac near a lovers lane in Hartland. Prosecutor Thomas Kizer said the killings could reflect Detroit narcotics warfare and mass violence tied to heroin markets, though relatives say the men were not involved in drug trade. The victims are Gary Hankerson 22, Larry Crenshaw 23, Rodney McCarthy 20, and Matthew King III 21.
