In the late hours of November 4, 2021, a gathering of friends in Pontiac, Michigan, turned tragic, ending in the violent deaths of two men, including 23-year-old Stefon Crow. A new father to a two-month-old daughter, Crow was at a house on North Johnson Avenue with his friend, 30-year-old Kyle Milton, when a dispute escalated into gunfire. Neighbors reported hearing around six gunshots and the frantic screams of a woman, prompting a call to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office at approximately
10:15 p.m.
Upon their arrival, deputies discovered a grim scene. Milton was found lying in the front yard, shallowly breathing and covered in blood, having apparently tried to flee the house before collapsing. Inside, authorities found Stefon Crow's body; he had been shot multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators recovered numerous bullet casings near his body and noted a trail of blood leading from the back of the house. The senseless violence left a deep wound in the community and devastated the families of the two victims.
The investigation into the double homicide quickly identified 27-year-old Torris Green Jr. as the primary suspect. A manhunt ensued, culminating in Green's arrest by U.S. Marshals in the Dallas suburb of Garland, Texas. He was extradited back to Michigan to face charges. During the trial, it was revealed that the motive for the shooting was a confrontation that occurred after Green found Crow in a compromising situation with the mother of his child, Latoyia Puckett.
Torris Green Jr. was ultimately convicted for the murders of Stefon Crow and Kyle Milton. Citing Green's history as a habitual offender with prior convictions for assault and weapons charges, the judge sentenced him to a term of 65 to 100 years in prison, with additional time for firearm-related offenses. Family members remembered Crow as a kind and respectful man who was dedicated to his family and friends and had a generous heart.
