"I understand that people didn't react quickly enough, because (McCray) pulls out a gun and start shooting people instantaneously," Khuja said. He lives with his parents and four siblings in Hamtramck, and worked at the gas station to help provide for his family. Khuja described Aiyash as a young man who panicked in the situation. He argued that it was only after the case received heavy media attention that police decided Aiyash was also criminally responsible in Fortner-Kelly's death. Khuja said it was Aiyash who cooperated with police and helped them identify McCray. Aiyash had called police and locked the doors after McCray attempted to steal store items "so the thief can still be there when the police arrive," Khuja said. Khuja argued that Aiyash did not know McCray had a gun. Still, the doors to the gas station were unlocked 15 seconds before McCray opened fire, she said. Patrons even offered to pay for the ice tea and doughnuts McCray is accused of attempting to steal, Posigian said. Wayne County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Anna Posigian said Friday that patrons of the store were locked inside for almost eight minutes, despite kicking, pushing, and pulling at the doors. Aiyash is charged with involuntary manslaughter for locking the doors of a Detroit gas station before a gunman opened fire on three patrons inside. ![]() The 6-foot-9 center won the opening tip, took her familiar position in the low post and opened the game with a three-point play.īoth teams struggled getting shots to fall early until Copper got hot.Clockwise from upper left, Magistrate Malaika Ramsey-Heath of 36th District Court, defendant Al-Hassan Aiyash, Wayne County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Anna Posigian and defense attorney Jamil Khuja during a remote arraignment hearing Friday, May 19, 2023.
