In a tragic turn of events stemming from a personal dispute, 25-year-old Phillip Hudson lost his life in a fatal shootout on May 24, 2018. The incident unfolded at a Clark gas station on Schaefer Highway in Detroit, Michigan. Hudson was a member of the Outlaws motorcycle club.

As both parties involved in the shooting were deceased, the Detroit Police Department considered the case closed. Consequently, no arrests were made, and no further suspects were sought in connection with the deaths of Phillip Hudson and Martez Fenderson. Hudson was remembered by his family as a dedicated father and a hardworking businessman.
