On May 20, 1980 Mr. Ed Knight attended the WPS detective office and reported his son, 25 year old Kirk Knight, missing from 1737 Central. He reported his son had recently been assaulted by members of the Lobo's Motorcycle gang and was extremely concerned about his son's well-being.

A short time later Kirk was forced into the rear of the vehicle. On May 22, 1980, detectives located the vehicle in Colchester South. Detectives believed the motive for the kidnapping was a recent feud between a believed motorcycle gang member and Kirk Knights brother. Police were also investigating a previous shooting of a believed gang member on May 16th, 1980, near the Seminole Tavern in which Kirk Knight’s brother was suspected of carrying out.
On May 25th, 1980, Kirk Knight’s body was pulled from the Detroit River near the old Rendezvous Tavern, 12010 Riverside E, by the WPS Marine Unit. His body was bound, restrained and anchored with cement blocks. The cause of death was drowning.
