Task Force to Investigate Dancer’s Death

(WXYZ) – The investigation into the death of dancer Tamara Greene is being reassigned to the multi-jurisdictional Violent Crimes Task Force.

Detroit Police Chief Warren Evans made the announcement, saying he considers the task force to be an elite unit.

The task force is comprised of Detroit Police, FBI, Wayne County Sheriff’s and State Police investigators,

Greene, an exotic dancer nicknamed Strawberry, was shot and killed in a Detroit drive-by shooting on April 30, 2003. No one has been arrested in connection with her death.

The case has drawn attention because of a never-proven party some say former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick held at the Manoogian Mansion, then the city’s mayoral residence. Some say Greene danced at the fall 2002 party and was later assaulted by Kilpatrick’s wife.
