Tevin Jermal Hunter, 28, was shot multiple times and killed in the early morning of August 15, 2021. The shooting occurred about 1:15 a.m. at the Van Buren United Civic Organization in Covert Township, where he had been attending an event. Law enforcement found Hunter at the scene and transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The investigation went nearly a year with no publicly identified suspects. In June 2022 authorities announced that two individuals had been arrested in connection with Hunter’s murder and were scheduled for arraignment, but the arrests were announced without releasing the names of those taken into custody. The specific charges and the outcome of any legal proceedings have not been disclosed.

Anyone who was at the event or has information about what happened that night is asked to come forward.
