Sequence of Events Unfolds
According to reports from 7 News Detroit, the incident began with a car crash. Following the collision, two vehicles reportedly arrived at a Sunoco gas station. Surveillance footage shows four individuals approaching a man in his vehicle.
The situation escalated quickly when the car door opened, and one of the victims lunged at the driver. The driver is then seen firing his weapon. The gas station attendant, who witnessed the unfolding drama, reported hearing six to seven shots before locking himself inside and calling 911.

The attendant described how one of the cars blocked the shooter’s vehicle from leaving. “Whoever was driving the Dodge just shot at them,” he recounted. Tragically, one female victim ran across the street but later died from her injuries. Another victim died immediately at the scene.
The third victim was still alive when police arrived but could not be saved. Family and friends have identified one of the deceased as 25-year-old Trevor Sheeler, and the woman who died was reportedly his sister, though her identity has not been officially confirmed.
