On the afternoon of December 10, 2025, a shooting on the west side of Detroit left an 18-year-old woman dead. Police were called about 2:47 p.m. to the 15500 block of Sussex Street, where first responders found two people suffering multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators say a verbal dispute among three males escalated and a handgun was discharged; Cherish Hinson, who was not involved in that dispute, was struck by the gunfire. She was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

A 22-year-old man was also wounded and treated at an area hospital. Authorities detained people who attempted to flee, and the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office charged two individuals connected to the case. Lorenzo Bernard Lancaster, 17, was charged as an adult with first-degree murder, assault with intent to murder, and two counts of felony firearm. A second suspect, 20-year-old Kavonta Maurice Plummer, was charged with accessory after the fact, resisting and obstructing an officer, and carrying a concealed weapon; he was arraigned in the 36th District Court with a $100,000 personal bond.

Is there anyone who knew Cherish or who witnessed the shooting who can help investigators?
