Chance Williams was 14 when he was fatally shot in Detroit on the night of June 16, 2020, on Mettetal Street. Reports say his 22-year-old sister, Chinasia Eliza-Yvonna Williams, removed the magazine from a handgun but did not realize a round remained in the chamber. She pointed the gun at Chance, pulled the trigger, and the single shot struck him. Chance was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead.

Chinasia Williams was taken into custody and charged by the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office with one count of involuntary manslaughter and one count of manslaughter — death by a weapon aimed with intent but without malice. Her defense attorney said she was extremely distraught. A judge set bond at $75,000; a probable cause conference was scheduled for July 2 and a preliminary examination for July 9.

If anyone knew Chance or has information about what happened that night, please share details with investigators.
