Two-year-old King Muhammad died after a shooting in the backseat of a car at a Sunoco on Dunkel Road in Lansing on October 24, 2023. Prosecutors say King climbed into the front seat, found a gun and it discharged, striking him in the head. His mother, 26-year-old Emma Jane Huver, exited the vehicle holding her bleeding son and handed him to a bystander; the child was taken to a local hospital and died later that day.

A 41-year-old friend of Huver, Avis Damone Coward, had entered the station about a minute before the shot and returned after hearing it; prosecutors allege he later placed the gun back in the vehicle, drove away, and directed a plan from jail to destroy evidence. The firearm was recovered in pieces. Gina Scheiberal was charged in connection with a burned-out, abandoned SUV linked to the case. Huver, who had fled to Arizona, was extradited to Michigan and faces involuntary manslaughter, second-degree child abuse and multiple firearm felonies, plus a charge for removing an electronic monitoring device; Coward faces federal felonies including being a felon in possession and tampering with evidence.

Does anyone have information about the moments leading up to the shooting or who saw the vehicle at the Sunoco that afternoon?
