Terry solicited Sims to murder the woman, according to the indictment.

On Nov. 27, 2020, Sims traveled from Grand Rapids to Flint where he obtained a vehicle, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. The next day, Sims allegedly drove to the victim’s residence in Sterling Heights and parked across the street.

The shooting was captured on the victim’s home security system. After the shooting, Sims drove to a nearby apartment complex where he abandoned his vehicle. Shortly thereafter, Terry picked Sims up from the apartment complex,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
