Alyssa Powell, 20, was found slumped over the wheel of her car the evening of Dec. 23 as it was parked near Beech and Manning in Inkster. She was killed by a gunshot wound to her head, according to Michigan State Police officials.
Inkster police and Michigan State Police detectives say the investigation is in "early stages and have no motive for the killing. Powell was a resident of Redford but had a great many friends in Inkster, according to her family. A GoFundMe account has been established for the family to help defray the cost of retrieving her body from the Wayne County Morgue.
Melissa Dubose, Powell's mother, described her daughter as "loving and caring. Loved kids and everyone. We need answers and help to bury her so she doesn't continue to sit there."
Detectives are looking for leads in the investigation, according to Det. Sgt. Sean Street with Michigan State Police.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the state police or leave a tip with Crime Stoppers at 1-800-Speak-Up. Callers can remain anonymous.
