Detroit, MI – A Detroit man has been charged in connection with the August shooting death of a 15-year-old boy, according to the Detroit Police Department and the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office.
Authorities identified the suspect as 21-year-old Terrell Epel Youngblood, who now faces multiple felony charges, including Second-Degree Murder, Felony Firearm, and Carrying a Concealed Weapon.
According to Detroit police, the incident occurred on August 23, 2025, around 8:14 p.m., when officers responded to a reported shooting in the 14800 block of Monte Vista. Officers canvassed the area and located the teenage victim near the Adam Butzel Recreational Center on Lyndon Street, suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.
Medics transported the teen to a nearby hospital, where he later died from his injuries. Investigators allege Youngblood fired a handgun multiple times before fleeing the scene.
Following a two-month investigation, Detroit police announced the suspect’s arrest on October 31, 2025. Prosecutors formally filed charges this week.
Youngblood remains in custody pending court proceedings. Authorities emphasized that all suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
