Just moments after he dropped his five-year-old son off at school, a father was shot and killed in his car.
It happened around 8:10 Wednesday outside Mark Twain Elementary/Middle school in southwest Detroit. The victim, Keenan Beard had just walked his son inside the school and then walked out and got back in his car.
When Beard got back inside his car that was parked on Fort Street near Visger, a man who was inside the car shot and killed him.
It is not clear if the gunman got in the backseat or had he already been in the car with the father as he drove to the school.
Beard's family says only the 28-year-old father and his little boy were in the car when they left the house this morning.
The shooter is described as a black man with a medium complexion, wearing a bright orange hoodie, 5' 8", 180 pounds.
And the killing may not have been random.
Several months ago, Beard's home was shot up. Thankfully, no one was injured.
A year ago, Beard was shot in the foot by masked men.
Anyone with any information on who killed Keenan Beard is urged to call Detroit Police homicide investigators at 313-596-2260.
