On November 7, 2025, 40-year-old Marvan Batoo, owner of Star Auto Sales in Shelby Township, Michigan, was shot and killed inside his dealership on Ryan Road. A second man, 48-year-old Ghaith Baban, was also found dead from gunshot wounds when an employee returned to the office. Police arrived about 12:41 p.m. and recovered five 9mm shell casings at the scene.

Investigators say surveillance footage allegedly shows a masked man in black entering the dealership and shooting both victims at point-blank range. Authorities identified a suspect, 46-year-old Terrance Jermaine Sandles of Houston, Texas, and tracked a rental vehicle linked to him to a hotel in Romulus, where he was arrested the day after the shooting. Police say items taken from the dealership and firearms were found in the hotel room. Sandles was charged with two counts of first-degree, premeditated murder, two counts of armed robbery, and multiple weapons offenses and is being held without bond in the Macomb County Jail. Batoo was a married father of three young children.
