In the early morning hours of September 20, 2022, two-year-old Kaiden Kai Rowan Turner was asleep in his family’s home on Cliff Street in Battle Creek, Michigan, when multiple rounds were fired into the residence from a dark-colored SUV. Kaiden was struck in the head by a bullet about 2:20 a.m. and died after being taken to the hospital. Investigators say Kaiden and his family were not the intended targets.

Investigators located a black Audi Q7 believed to be the vehicle used; the SUV had been reported stolen days earlier. Searches produced firearms, ammunition, and other evidence connected to the shooting. Within days three teenagers were arrested: Martavon Nelson, 18; Jaylen Smith, 17, who is to be tried as an adult; and Hashim Bell Jr., who was 19 at arraignment. All three face open murder charges and weapons offenses. Nelson reportedly told detectives he was targeting someone he had an ongoing dispute with.

If anyone has information about the shooting, Kaiden’s movements that night, or the black Audi Q7, please share what you know.
