No Charges in Detroit Gas Station Shooting

0:00No charges are coming for a 22-year-old suspect in the deadly shooting of three folks at a Detroit gas station. Wayne County prosecutors say there's just not enough evidence to beat his self-defense claim after a wild chain of events early Sunday morning. It all started at an illegal drag racing meet-up that cops shut down. After scattering, one car smashed into another and the victims chased the suspect's ride to the station for a face-off. Tensions boiled over quick. The three killed were Lester Owens III, 24, Jasmine Sheeler, also 24, and her brother Trevor Sheeler Jr., 25, all. Detroit locals, at least one of them had a gun and things turned physical fast. Prosecutors explain under Michigan law, deadly force is okay if you reasonably fear imminent death or serious harm to yourself or others. The suspect, riding in the back seat, fired shots that took them down. Cops found multiple guns at the scene and the young man had a valid license to carry.
