A dispute at a Detroit gas station in the early hours of Monday, July 28, 2025, ended in deadly gunfire. Martin Clay, 32, of Davison, Michigan, was found at the entrance of a Marathon station on Puritan Street with multiple gunshot wounds to his torso and buttocks and was pronounced dead at the scene. The shooting also killed 34-year-old Maria Jenkins of Highland Park and wounded two Detroit women, aged 28 and 39, who suffered non-fatal gunshot injuries.

Police say the confrontation began as a verbal argument between Clay and another man, escalated into a physical fight, and then the suspect allegedly produced a handgun and fired, striking four people. Authorities identified 30-year-old Jaylen Lee Robinson of Hazel Park as the suspect; Robinson was taken into custody and arraigned. Multiple charges were filed, including two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of assault with intent to murder, four counts of felony firearm, and one count of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. A probable cause conference and preliminary examination were scheduled for August 2025.

Does anyone have information about the events at the Marathon on Puritan Street that morning or knew Martin Clay?
