A planned firearm exchange on Buena Vista Street in Detroit turned deadly on February 16, 2018, when a meeting arranged over social media escalated into a robbery and shooting that left 21-year-old Deonta Blinco dead. Blinco and his friend Javionne Trotter had been driven to the location by a friend, Larry Jackson, to meet two other young men for the gun swap.

Police say the two men they met, 17-year-old David McNair and 18-year-old Christopher Pritchett, allegedly decided to rob Blinco and Trotter. Shots were fired at the scene; Blinco was killed there and Trotter was critically wounded and later died at a hospital. McNair and Pritchett were identified by investigators and arrested on charges that included premeditated murder, felony murder, armed robbery, and carrying a concealed weapon, and were held without bond.

Does anyone have information about the meeting on Buena Vista Street or the social media contacts that set up the exchange?
