A late-February dispute in an Albion apartment ended in deadly violence. On the evening of Thursday, February 27, 2025, responders found 27-year-old Rajae Flowers-Taylor of Lansing inside a residence on the 1300 block of Hillside Road with multiple gunshot wounds; Flowers-Taylor was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police identified 18-year-old Amaurion Alonzo Watts of Albion as a suspect. Watts was taken into custody at the scene and later arraigned on charges of homicide and possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony; he is being held without bond at the Calhoun County jail. Law enforcement described the incident as isolated and said it followed an argument between Flowers-Taylor and Watts, who had recently become roommates along with their girlfriends. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for March 17 in the 10th District Court in Battle Creek.

Are there readers who knew Rajae, were in that neighborhood that night, or have information about the events leading up to the shooting?
