Deric Wilson II was 18 when he was found shot to death in a north-side Flint, Michigan apartment on March 5, 2014. The case was described as a robbery that escalated to murder, and investigators charged four teenagers in connection with the killing: Quentin Shaftaway, 19; Onte-ro T. Wilson, 18; C-Jay C. Perkins, 17; and Treyvon Holcomb-Dunn, 17.

Prosecutors said the four had conspired to rob Wilson and that the confrontation turned fatal. Quentin Shaftaway pleaded guilty to second-degree murder under a deal that included his testimony against the others. That testimony, together with other evidence, was central to the trials of Onte-ro Wilson, C-Jay Perkins, and Treyvon Holcomb-Dunn; juries convicted each of first-degree felony murder, armed robbery, and conspiracy to commit armed robbery.

The convictions and sentences are recorded as the legal resolution of Deric Wilson’s death, but his family’s loss remains. If anyone knew Deric or has information about the case, please share what you remember.
