Marshae Nash was 21 when she and her 22-year-old boyfriend, Benson Lindsey, were killed in a targeted ambush at a Detroit gas station on October 18, 2021. The couple was sitting in their vehicle at a Marathon on West Warren Avenue near the Southfield Freeway when two gunmen approached and opened fire. Their 9-month-old son was in Marshae’s arms at the time and was not harmed; the couple also had a newborn daughter in the hospital, born prematurely.

Surveillance footage captured two men in dark clothing running up to the car and firing from both sides before fleeing. In the days after the shooting the Detroit Police Department said two suspects were taken into custody and a weapon was recovered, and that the suspects were connected to a separate carjacking. Reports as of late 2024 indicated formal charges in the double homicide had not been made public.

If anyone knew Marshae or Benson, or saw activity around the Marathon on West Warren Avenue on October 18, 2021, please share what you know.
