DaVion ShaCorey Lee was 22 when he was found shot to death inside a car on 36th Street in Wyoming, Michigan, on January 31, 2021. A witness reported hearing a heated argument followed by seven gunshots before the body was discovered. The Wyoming Department of Public Safety opened a homicide investigation.

Investigators quickly identified a person of interest: 21-year-old Brian Lamont Ashley Jr., who was described as the brother of the mother of Lee’s children. The shooting reportedly happened outside that woman’s residence. Authorities initially warned that Ashley might be armed and dangerous and sought information on his whereabouts.

Ashley was later charged with open murder and a felony firearms count in connection with Lee’s death; his initial court appearance was scheduled soon after the charges were filed. Anyone with information about the shooting or Lee’s movements that morning is asked to come forward.
