On Tuesday, Madley's family and Maplewood police announced a $7,000 reward for information on Madley's shooting death.

Lt. Joe Steiner said Madley was walking home from a store along Larpenteur Avenue when he was shot and killed.

Through investigation, police have determined three people are involved in Madley’s murder, but they do not know who they are, Steiner said.

"This was a senseless death and I need answers. I want answers," Devinn’s father, Theryl Dugas, said. "He was a good kid, never got in trouble, he worked, he played video…he was just getting into his way of life as a young man. Somebody knows something out here. I’m begging and I’m pleading, right now I need answers to what happened to my child."
