Eighteen-year-old Terrance TJ Coker Jr. was shot and killed in Detroit in the early morning hours of March 7, 2024. The senior at Davison High School was driving a silver Lexus near West McNichols Road and the John C. Lodge Freeway around 12:25 a.m. when he reportedly exchanged words with occupants of a white SUV. As he tried to drive away, the white SUV’s occupants pursued and opened fire; Coker died at the scene.

Detroit police say their investigation led them to a white Chevrolet Equinox and a subsequent vehicle pursuit ended with four people taken into custody after they ran on foot. Family and the community held vigils and memorials; his father described him as outgoing, caring, and intelligent with graduation two months away.
