On Friday, November 7, 2025, 48-year-old Chaldean man Ghaith Baban was fatally shot inside Star Auto Sales in Shelby Township, Michigan, during an attack that also killed 40-year-old owner Marvan Batoo. An employee arriving at the dealership around 12:30 p.m. found both men dead in the office and called authorities. Investigators recovered five 9mm shell casings at the scene.

Surveillance footage reportedly showed a masked man in black clothing shoot both victims at point-blank range and then walk away. Police identified the suspect as 46-year-old Terrance Jermain Sandles of Houston, Texas, and located him the next day at a Romulus hotel, where he was arrested. Officers reportedly found guns and cash taken from the dealership in his hotel room. Sandles was charged with two counts of first-degree premeditated murder and other felonies and has been denied bond.

If anyone knew Ghaith Baban, his routines, or saw activity around the dealership that day, please share information with investigators.
