Makhi Urzuri Williams was 18 when he was shot while driving a Jeep on the 2100 block of Beal Avenue in Lansing on February 5, 2023. First responders found him with a gunshot wound; he was taken to Sparrow Health System and later died of his injuries. Williams was Black / African American.

Lansing police identified two teen suspects and arrested them. A 17-year-old, named as Keith Chapman, was charged as an adult with second-degree murder and felony firearm possession. A 13-year-old, not named because of his age, faces second-degree murder charges and is being prosecuted as a juvenile for now; authorities said he could be charged as an adult if he fails to show progress in rehabilitation treatment. The shooting left the community confronting the presence of severe violence involving youths.

If anyone has information about the shooting or knew Makhi, please come forward to help the investigation.
