Historically, the death
of Darrell Banks has always been recorded as March 1970, but
as we can see from the certificate it was in fact during the
last week of February 1970.
Other inaccuracies have
been that he was shot in the neck, when in fact he was shot
in the neck and the chest. He
has also been listed at age 35 when in fact he was 32, and
as being born in 1938 when in fact it was 1937. It
can also be seen on the certificate that the incident is
described as an "assault" and a
"homicide", however, no court case emerged.
This is purely an observation. Special
thanks to SisDetroit who obtained a copy of this certificate
for the purposes of identifying Darrell's date of birth.
