Terry Williams was shot and killed after an attempted robbery outside the Valero at 7 Mile Road and Shiawassee in Detroit on August 22. Two men approached him as he was leaving the gas station; during the confrontation Williams was shot. Detroit police and Crime Stoppers appealed to the public for help soon after the killing and a cash reward was offered for information.

Kevin Pearson was later identified as a person of interest. He was described as 5 feet 9 inches, about 140 pounds, with a dark complexion. In May 2017 a federal indictment tied Pearson to charges brought against members of the YNS gang, including an allegation of murder in aid of racketeering as part of a pattern of violent crimes.

Anyone with information about the shooting or Pearson’s role is asked to come forward.
