Nina Bernice Battle, 32, was found shot to death inside her Fairway Trails apartment in Ypsilanti Township on March 4, 2017, after a neighbor reported hearing gunfire just after 4 p.m. Deputies entered an unlocked door and found her on the kitchen floor; the medical examiner said she had been shot twice—once in the chest with the gun pressed against her skin and then in the back as she moved toward the kitchen. The apartment was neat but showed signs of a hurried search: purses emptied, one sock missing from a pair, and items that should have been present such as active cell phones and drugs were gone. Little cash was recovered despite reports she often kept money tucked in a sock.

Investigators focused on a man who had been in frequent contact with Battle in the days before her death. Phone location data placed his phone near her apartment for more than twelve hours before the shooting, and his fingerprints were found on items inside. Witnesses said he texted that he had hit a lick and later boasted that he had popped her; others reported he suddenly began handing out cash he claimed came from a casino.
