On December 1, 2015, 21-year-old Stevan Henderson picked up children from school and pulled into a liquor store parking lot at Troester and Hayes streets on Detroit’s east side. In the passenger seat was 13-year-old Aaliayah Thomas; two other children, a 7-year-old boy and another 13-year-old girl, were sitting on the hood. About 4:30 p.m., two men approached the car and opened fire. Henderson tried to flee but crashed into a building across the street. Both Henderson and Aaliayah were fatally wounded; the children on the hood were thrown from the vehicle and seriously injured, one run over. Henderson was reportedly the intended target.

Investigators linked the attack to a feud between rival gangs and identified the shooters as members of the 6 Mile Chedda Grove gang, named as Edwin Edboy Mills and Carlo Wilson. A wider federal racketeering indictment against eleven alleged gang members followed in 2016; it included murders, assaults and drug trafficking. After arrest, Mills’s belongings reportedly contained multiple weapons, including two AK-47 rifles. Mills and Wilson later pleaded guilty to the murders and received 25-year federal sentences.
