A local gas station attendant, who fatally shot a customer after a dispute last year, was sentenced to 4 years, 5 months to 17 years in jail by a Wayne County Circuit Court judge on July 11.
The shooting occurred on March 10, 2011 at a BP gas station in Detroit, after Michael Haynes, a 24-year-old customer, argued with the attendant, Ibrahim Saleh, over the price of a box of condoms and reportedly started knocking items off the shelves of the station in protest.
According to police, Saleh, 24, then pulled out a gun and shot Haynes as he was leaving the gas station. The incident prompted protests by Haynes’s friends and family in the following weeks. Saleh was found guilty of manslaughter and possessing a firearm by a jury on June 25.
