DETROIT — A Detroit man accused of spraying gunfire across neighborhoods over eight days, shooting at federal agents and carjacking a motorist before being shot and arrested by city police has been indicted on a slate of federal charges, authorities said.
Terrance Markyce Davis, 33, faces counts including attempted murder of federal agents, carjacking, assaulting an officer and weapons offenses, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan. Prosecutors say ballistic testing tied a single handgun to multiple shootings between Nov. 5 and Nov. 13, as well as the gunfire exchanged with ATF during an arrest attempt. One person was seriously injured in the earlier incidents. Department of Justice+1
On Nov. 14, ATF agents moved in with an arrest warrant connected to ammunition possession stemming from the spree, officials said. Davis fled, allegedly carjacked a vehicle and exchanged shots with agents before a Michigan State Policeunit disabled the stolen car. Davis then ran armed with a handgun and was shot by Detroit police and taken into custody, authorities said. Officer
The case was built by ATF Detroit, Detroit Police and Michigan State Police. Federal officials announcing the indictment last week described Davis as an “agent of chaos” whose actions endangered residents and law enforcement across the city. Local outlets have since published body-worn camera and other video from the chase and Midtown shooting as part of Detroit’s critical-incident disclosure policy. Department of Justice+1
A federal grand jury returned the indictment Dec. 10, court records show. Davis remained in federal custody pending further proceedings. Detroit Free Press
