Slain Grosse Pointe Farms teenager Paige Stalker loved pink and green and all-things Lilly Pulitzer, the iconic preppy fashion designer.

Her family knew it. Her friends knew it.

Now, they're hoping the whole Grosse Pointe community knows it as a result of pink and green ribbons tied around trees across the Pointes to honor the memory of the 16-year-old girl who was gunned down as she sat in a car with four other teens on Detroit's east side Monday night.

With police still on the hunt for her killer, family and friends spent hours Friday making ribbons and tying them around residents' trees.

Paige, they say, would have liked that.

"Pink and green were her favorite colors. So we're asking anybody if they would put a pink and green ribbon around their tree in honor of Paige," said Ashley Lawrence-Perry, Paige's aunt. "If people would like to make their own, we'd love that, too."

Grosse Pointe Woods resident Erin Maday, who did not personally know Paige, plans on making her own tree ribbon in honor of Paige.

"As a community we are all saddened by the unfortunate loss of such a wonderful and positive influence Paige shared with all," said Maday, who grew up with one of Paige's aunts. "I only hope this anger and sadness doesn't fade and actually forces a much needed change in Metro Detroit."

She added: "We need to stop accepting violence as a part of Detroit."

As of Friday evening, police said they had no updates about the shooting, which occurred when a gunman fired up to 30 bullets at a car containing the five teens as they sat parked on a desolate street, just three blocks from the Grosse Pointe border.

Paige, an honor student at University Liggett School in Grosse Pointe Woods, was shot in the head. Three of the other teens were wounded; the fifth escaped injury.

Crime Stoppers has offered a $2,500 reward for any information that leads to the arrest of the killer.

"I want justice for Paige," said the victim's grandfather, Dave Lawrence, who fears others may get hurt if the suspect isn't caught soon. "This guy could strike again."

Initially, police had said they didn't believe the crime was random. Now, they are calling it a suspected botched robbery attempt and believe it was randomly carried out.

According to police, Paige and the four teenagers were hanging out in Detroit after buying marijuana when the shooting happened. A police source familiar with the investigation said that a vehicle rolled up on the group when a man dressed in camouflage — carrying an assault rifle — got out and ordered the teens to get out of the car.

The driver panicked and started to drive off and the gunman opened fire, the source said.

"We have nothing suggesting that these victims knew the suspect as of right now," police spokesman Adam Madera previously said.

Paige's family has adamantly denied that Paige was smoking marijuana. They said she was an honor student who never got into trouble, volunteered at a local hospital and aspired to become a doctor.
