On the morning of June 11, 2007, Kourtney Duffie was shot multiple times inside a car at a Citgo station in River Rouge and died from those wounds. Witnesses at the scene included Marcell Vallie, Josh Dotson, and brothers Tremain and Terrence Peterson. Terrence had gone into the station while the others waited in a car. A white Ford Taurus driven by Lamar Ray Jones pulled in; Jones, whom Vallie knew, moved his car alongside Duffie’s and fired about nine shots into her vehicle.

The three who remained in the waiting car fled to Vallie’s house and did not report the shooting for several weeks. Around July 19, 2007, they identified Jones as the shooter. Jones was arrested, tried by jury on first-degree premeditated murder, felon in possession, and felony-firearm charges, convicted on all counts, and received a mandatory life term plus additional sentences. An appeal challenging his right to present a defense was rejected on review.

Did anyone in the River Rouge community witness tensions involving these individuals before June 11, 2007?
