Tyrell Antonio Pettway was 21 when he was shot and killed during an altercation at Plush Hair Studio on the 5100 block of South Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Lansing, Michigan. The shooting occurred on August 3, 2019; officers found Pettway unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds and he later died at a hospital.

Investigators identified 21-year-old Lansing resident Demetrust Traivon Jones as a person of interest. Jones was taken into custody shortly after the shooting and released the next day, then arrested again on August 27, 2019, on charges that included open murder, carrying a concealed weapon, and felony firearm possession. Court filings described a dispute rooted in an earlier affair between Jones and Pettway’s girlfriend that escalated into a fight at the barbershop and ended with Pettway being shot twice. Jones surrendered to authorities and claimed self-defense.

Are there witnesses or anyone with additional details about the scene at Plush Hair Studio that day?
