DeNate Lee, 27, was a father to seven young children, including four of his own, but early Thursday morning, Lee was killed during a home invasion. 

Around 12:40 a.m., Detroit Police say Lee was inside his Steel Street home, located near Fenkell, when at least two masked men kicked their way in through the front door and announced a holdup. 

Several items were stolen and Lee, a car wash worker, was shot multiple times. He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead. 

Homicide investigators are hoping anyone with information in the case will make an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers at 1(800) SPEAK-UP. 

Your call will not be traced and you will be eligible for a cash reward if your tip leads to an arrest.
