$10K Reward Offered In Shooting Death Of Macomb County Man

DETROIT — Police offered a $10,000 reward for information in the shooting death of a Macomb County man who was gunned down while working at a Detroit liquor store over the weekend.

Thair Dado, 43, of Sterling Heights, was working his part-time job Saturday morning at All Stars Beverage Liquor Store on West Chicago and Meyers Road where he was fatally shot, police said.

Dado stepped outside to take the trash out at 4:15 a.m. and noticed a group of men trying to steal his car, police said.

Dado tried to stop the suspected carjackers, but at least one of the suspected carjackers pulled out a gun and shot him, police said.

All the suspected carjackers, including the shooter, fled the scene in Dado's car, police said.

The car was described as a red Hyundai, possibly an Elantra, with silver rims and heavy front end damage with the front bumper missing, police said.

Police said Dado was killed in the shooting. He leaves behind his wife, Zina Francis and his 16-year-old son, Steven.

A GoFundMe page was created to remember Dado as a devoted, hardworking man, a loving husband and amazing father. As of Friday morning, the page raised more than $91,000.

"Tragically, Thair's light was extinguished by an act of violence, leaving a void that can only be filled with compassion and support," the GoFundMe page said. "As the sole provider, his untimely departure has cast a heavy burden on his family, especially his wife and 16-year-old son."

Police were still investigating the carjacking and shooting.
