Trevor Sheeler Jr., 25, was shot and killed in Detroit in the early hours of Sunday, April 19, 2026, after a confrontation at a Sunoco gas station near McNichols and Lahser Roads. The incident followed a car crash that involved a vehicle carrying Trevor, his 24-year-old sister Jasmine Sheeler (known as Jazzy), and 24-year-old Lester Owens III. After the collision they followed the other vehicle to the gas station, where an altercation began around 3 a.m.

Police and the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office say Trevor, Jasmine and Owens approached and physically assaulted occupants of the other car. During the fight a 22-year-old rear-seat passenger in that vehicle fired a weapon, striking Trevor, Jasmine and Lester. Jasmine was pronounced dead at the scene from a chest wound; Trevor and Lester were taken to a hospital and died of their injuries. The 22-year-old shooter remained at the scene, cooperated with police and was taken into custody.

Prosecutors later reviewed the case and announced they would not file charges against the 22-year-old, concluding the shooter’s claim of lawful self-defense and defense of others could not be disproved beyond a reasonable doubt under Michigan law. Trevor was a father to two young children, ages six and five, and is remembered for his unfiltered personality and close bond with his mother.

If anyone witnessed the crash, the follow-up at the gas station that night, or has additional information about what happened, please share what is known.
