Fourteen-year-old Troy TJ Wells Jr was shot and killed in the early hours of February 16, 2019, at a Hampton Inn on Felch Street in Holland, Michigan. Wells had arrived at the hotel with his sister to attend a party on the second floor when a hallway argument with a member of the Latin Kings escalated into gunfire. Witnesses say Juan Sandro Cabrera emerged from Room 230 carrying a rifle and opened fire; Wells was struck multiple times, taken to Holland Hospital, and died of his injuries. An autopsy recorded six to seven gunshot wounds, including three fatal torso wounds.

Police initially issued a warrant for another man who was later cleared. Investigators focused on Cabrera; he was charged with open murder, felony firearm, and gang membership after witnesses and hotel surveillance identified him, and the murder weapon was recovered. Several others were charged with lying to police and assisting the suspect after the shooting. Does anyone have information about that night at the Hampton Inn or knew TJ Wells Jr?
