On the night of September 9, 2018, 25-year-old Rashawn Harrington was shot and killed inside a White Castle on Detroit’s west side. The attack occurred just after midnight when two masked gunmen approached on foot and opened fire into the fast-food restaurant. Harrington and 24-year-old Trevaughn Anthony were pronounced dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds; a third victim, 20-year-old DeShawn Gadson, was also killed in the incident.

Investigators recovered several handguns from the White Castle lobby. Police identified 29-year-old William Wilbourn-Little as a suspect and tied him to an ongoing feud with Gadson. Gadson’s girlfriend, Mika Pittman, who was waiting in a car outside, testified that she witnessed the shooting and confirmed the contentious relationship between Gadson and Wilbourn-Little.

Wilbourn-Little was arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree murder, felon in possession of a firearm, and felony firearm; a jury later convicted him and he received life without parole.
