The investigation began on Aug. 23, 2025, after Detroit police officers responded to a home in the 14800 block of Monte Vista for a shooting. When officers arrived, they found a 16-year-old boy near the Adam Butzel Recreational Center with a gunshot wound to his head.
The boy was taken to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
Youngblood was initially charged with second-degree murder, felony firearm and carrying a concealed weapon. He pleaded guilty on March 10 to charges of manslaughter and felony firearm. The carrying a concealed weapon charge was dismissed, as part of a plea deal.
On April 3, Youngblood was sentenced to two to 15 years in prison.
