But the state of Michigan, which collects the city of Detroit's income taxes, is not communicating with Detroit fast enough to indicate that his client had paid his taxes, Dagher argues, which is a requirement for a gas station business license.

The gas station has been in business in the community for over 20 years, he said, and is a partner with Detroit police's Project Green Light surveillance program.Īt the time of the shooting, the gas station was unlicensed, prompting discussions within the community on business compliance and safety procedures at gas stations, including policies that ban clerks from locking patrons inside.ĭagher said his client had taken all the necessary steps to renew the license prior to the shooting. Aiyash, he said, had started working at the gas station less than a week prior to the shooting.

Community responds to shootingĪli Dagher, an attorney for the gas station owner, told the Free Press the owner was getting ready to retire and was about to lease his business to new tenants when the shooting happened. But that's the best that (prosecutors) can argue here.'Īiyash was being held on $200,000 cash bond with a GPS tether and home confinement. Did he panic and maybe act inappropriately in a way, maybe.

'He was just working there as a clerk to help provide for his family. '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.
