In the pre-dawn hours of October 21, 2022, Dina Terrell, a 49-year-old mother of three and a breast cancer survivor from Eastpointe, was working as a Lyft driver in Pontiac. Deputies found her gray Nissan wedged between a utility pole and a street sign at West Rundell Street and Putnam Avenue, and Terrell had suffered a gunshot wound to the head. She was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Terrell’s cellphone, still running the Lyft app, showed an active ride that had begun at a Walmart in Rochester Hills and was headed to the northeast side of Pontiac. The passenger was identified as 19-year-old Kemarrie Davion Phillips of Pontiac. Investigators believe the passenger shot Terrell from the back seat as they neared the destination, after which the car crashed and the passenger fled on foot. Phillips was arrested and charged with open murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Terrell’s purse and jewelry were left untouched, and no clear motive had been reported.

Did anyone in the Pontiac or Rochester Hills area see the Nissan or the passenger that morning, or have information about the final ride?
