A confrontation that began with threats on social media ended in gunfire at a Flint gas station. On May 26, 2024, at about 1:45 a.m., 20-year-old Isis Destine Walker, a Black woman, was shot at the Marathon station on North Saginaw Street. She was taken to a hospital and later died of her wounds.

Police say an argument between two groups of women turned physical. Witnesses described a vehicle that led investigators to a suspect; hours after the shooting officers arrested Shahanna Patrice Thorns at her home and charged her with first-degree premeditated murder and felony firearm. The Major Crime Squad handled the investigation.

Reports state that during the altercation Thorns fired warning shots and then, moments later as Walker was pulling herself up from the ground, fired again; Thorns told police she believed Walker was armed with a stun gun and was attacking her sister. Few other details about motive or the events leading up to the shooting have been released.

Did anyone witness the argument at the gas station or know why the dispute began online?
