Ammelio Gerrell Wilson Jr., a 27-year-old Black male, was fatally shot on October 3, 2020, in Burton, Michigan. On that day, Wilson and another man, Lavelle Bergerac Ivy, were both found deceased, having been shot in what police described as a 'calculated' act of violence. Born in Flint, Michigan on June 4, 1993, Wilson was known to his loved ones as 'Rugg'.
He was a dedicated and loving father to his daughter and enjoyed fishing, grilling, and spending time with his family and friends.
The investigation into the double homicide led to the identification of several suspects. Among those charged were Clifton E. Terry III, a Flint rapper known as 'Cliff Mac,' and Andre D. Sims. Terry and Sims, along with two other individuals, faced multiple felony charges, including first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of Wilson and Ivy.
The indictment against the accused detailed a conspiracy to commit the murders, with evidence reportedly including extensive text messages and other communications between the co-defendants around the time of the killings. The legal proceedings have been extensive, with pretrial hearings and other court appearances taking place in the years following the incident. Clifton E. Terry III was scheduled to go on trial for the murders in February 2024. The case has garnered significant attention, in part due to Terry's local notoriety as a rapper.
