Thomas Jerrell Washington, 26, was killed in a drive-by shooting in Pontiac on the late afternoon of June 13, 2025. Witnesses said a man in a gray vehicle fired multiple shots near Auburn Avenue and Russell Street. First responders found Washington with gunshot wounds to his wrist and back; he was taken to a local hospital with a weak pulse and later died.

Authorities arrested 32-year-old Tremaine Jevon Love hours after the shooting during a traffic stop in West Bloomfield Township. Detectives linked Love to the scene, recovered multiple casings, and charged him with first-degree murder, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, and two counts of second-offense felony firearm. He was arraigned and is being held without bond in the Oakland County Jail.

Washington, born July 1, 1998, was a father of three and an artist who studied Digital Media at Specs Howard School of Media Arts. He performed music, pursued a rap album, and promoted his brand FET – Family Eats Together; family and friends remember his wit and quick smile. Does anyone have information about Washington’s activities that afternoon or saw a gray vehicle in the Auburn Avenue and Russell Street area?
