Hazel Park man charged with murder in quadruple shooting at Detroit gas station
The quadruple shooting happened shortly before 4 a.m. Monday at the Marathon gas station at 3344 Puritan Avenue, Detroit police said.
One of the victims, whom the prosecutor's office identified as Martin Clay, 32, of Davison, was found on the floor with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Another victim, identified as Maria Jenkins, 34, of Highland Township, died shortly afterwards at a hospital as a result of her injuries.
The two women whose injuries were less severe, ages 28 and 39, are both from Detroit. They were taken to a local hospital for treatment.
A person of interest was taken into custody Tuesday, and police said they believe the shooter in this incident acted alone.
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy reported Friday that Jaylen Lee Robinson, 30, of Hazel Park, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of assault with intent to murder, four counts of felony firearm and one count of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
The prosecutor's office alleges that a verbal argument between Robinson and Clay that morning escalated into a physical altercation. During that time, Robinson is accused of pulling out and firing a handgun multiple times, which resulted in gunshot wounds to four people.
Arraignment was scheduled for Friday in the 36th District Court.

Judge awards Vegas man custody of his brother who he believes may also be his son
A Las Vegas man's search for the truth about his family has returned inconclusive results. Logan Gifford, 26, believes his younger brother, 15, could be his son after claiming his mother Doreene Gifford began sexually assaulting him when he was 10. Doreene Gifford, was sentenced to eight to 20 years in jail after making an Alford plea, essentially a plea of no contest, on lesser charges, including attempted sex assault, 8 News Now reports. She has also registered as a sex offender, while also maintaining her innocence. Logan was 17 at the time. Earlier this year, Logan Glifford filed a paternity case asking for a judge to order an advanced DNA test to determine who the teenager's father is, the outlet reports. That test was inconclusive, however. Logan Glifford said he and his father, Theodore, could both be the teenager's biological father, after their DNA both matched 99.9% to the sibling. At a Thursday hearing, family court Judge Vincent Ochoa said that the test results were unsurprising. 'I think we should have known that was going to come out that way from the very beginning,' Ochoa said, per the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The judge recommended further testing to ascertain who the teenager's father was. The judge also awarded Logan Glifford temporary custody of his brother. A prior temporary guardianship would have expired Thursday, his Attorney Timothy Treffinger, told the Review-Journal. Speaking to the Review-Journal, Logan Gifford said that he would be praying over the issue, but pursuing further testing in order to get 'genetic clarity' for his brother. 'He's aware of what's going on and he understands why we're trying to get to the truth for him,' he said. 'Because this wasn't about me. This was about trying to get genetic answers for him.' A GoFundMe page set up by Gifford to help him win custody and 'protect' his brother, who he currently lives with along with his wife and stepdaughter, has raised almost $2,000. In the page description, Gifford describes the situation as 'a nightmare I never chose' and calls the idea of his brother being his son a 'haunting possibility.' 'The court process is tough, and with his cognitive struggles and our complicated family history, I need help to secure his future and give him the life he deserves,' Gifford wrote. He added that he was 'also speaking out for male survivors everywhere.' 'Growing up, I faced shame, disbelief, and a system that didn't see me—social services missed the signs and left me unprotected. Too many men suffer in silence, and I'm determined to change that,' he said. Despite the previous inconclusiveness, experts have said it is likely that further testing will provide answers for the Giffords. Arthur Beaudet, a past president of the American Society of Human Genetics, said such circumstances would require a higher level of investigation. 'This is a job not for the average lab that does paternity testing and disputes between individuals all the time,' he told the Review-Journal. 'This is a job for a top-notch expert in this area.'

🎥 Messi off as Inter Miami controversially reduced to ten men
It has already been a night to forget for MLS outfit Inter Miami as the Herons battle against Liga MX side Necaxa at Chase Stadium.A fantastic strike from Telascco Segovia in the 12th minute of action lifted the club to a 1-0 lead, but his moment of magic would be flanked by moments of devastation. Before the Venezuelan international struck from range, club star Lionel Messi was subbed off due to an apparent abductor issue and replaced by Federico Redondo. Already a massive blow, not just tonight, but what it could mean across the rest of the 2025 season, the night would go from bad to worse for Mascherano's troops when center-back Maximiliano Falcon received a straight red. Despite going to VAR, the on-field call stood as the Uruguayan defender was judged to have brought down Rayos forward Diber Cambindo as the last man. Still one-goal up at the time of writing, Miami must not only hold on for 60 minutes, but concerns surrounding Messi will no doubt continue to swirl. 📸 Leonardo Fernandez - 2025 Getty Images
