Robert Quinton Wray Jr., 34, was fatally shot the evening of August 18, 2016, in the front yard of a residence on Lansing’s south side. He was found unresponsive and taken to Sparrow Hospital, where he was pronounced dead of multiple gunshot wounds. An autopsy recorded six gunshot wounds; the fatal wound was to his head and another wound to his back.

The confrontation began earlier that evening after Wray drove through a neighborhood where Carl Marshle Price, then 23, and friends were playing basketball. Price told police Wray had driven fast and nearly struck him. Wray later returned wearing all black and carrying a 9 mm handgun. A significant exchange of gunfire followed; casings from .45, 9 mm, and .40 caliber firearms were recovered. A .45 caliber gun registered to Price was found at the scene and the 9 mm was found beneath Wray’s body. Forensic testimony linked the fatal head wound and the back wound to a .45 caliber weapon, and Price reportedly admitted to shooting Wray while he was already on the ground.

Price was arrested and initially charged with open murder and felony firearm. After a jury trial he was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and felony-firearm and sentenced to 86 to 180 months for manslaughter, to be served consecutively with two years for felony-firearm; his appeal arguing self-defense was denied. Does anyone have additional information about Wray’s movements that evening or witnesses who were there?
