Three people are in custody in connection with the murder of 46-year-old Terrill Smith in Ypsilanti Township, Michigan last week.

Smith was sitting outside a West Willow home on Facebook live June 28, when suddenly gunfire started. Washtenaw County Sheriff’s deputies received calls about a man lying on the ground and shots fired.

Deputies found Smith, who was taken to a hospital, where he died.

Authorities said arrests were made Friday.

A 24-year-old Ypsilanti man was arrested in Georgia. He is being transported back to Michigan, and his charges are pending, so he hasn’t been identified.

41-year-old Martita Bonner is charged with conspiracy to commit homicide/open murder. She was given a $1 million bond.

25-year-old Jermia Castion was charged with conspiracy to commit homicide/open murder. Her bond was also set at $1 million.

Both Bonner and Casiton are in the Washtenaw County Jail.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. Yeager at [email protected] or 734-476-9594. You can also submit a tip anonymously to 734-973-7711 or through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP.
