Ronnie Pruitt Jr, a 33-year-old Black man, was fatally shot at a BP gas station in Detroit on the evening of December 23, 2020. He and his wife, Sharnell, had stopped to refuel and were meeting someone to sell a pair of roller skates when an unknown person approached and shot Ronnie twice. Additional shots were fired at Sharnell while she was inside their car; she was taken to a local hospital for treatment and later released. The couple had been married less than a year at the time.

Ronnie’s family, including his sister Samantha, described the attack as sudden and senseless and believe it was random.

Did anyone witness the encounter at 7 Mile and Woodward that night or have information about the person who approached their vehicle?
