The incident occurred as Stewart and his cousin, Samantha Stewart, were leaving a block party on the city's north side. Both were struck by gunfire and immediately transported to a local hospital for medical attention. While his cousin survived the attack, Jarelle Stewart succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.
In the wake of the shooting, the Flint Police Department
launched an investigation into the homicide. Authorities have appealed to the public for any information that might lead to the identification and apprehension of those responsible for Stewart's death.
