DETROIT – A 30-year-old Hazel Park man is scheduled to be sentenced next month for the murder of two people at a Detroit gas station last summer.
Jaylen Lee Robinson pleaded no contest on Monday to two counts of first-degree murder and two felony firearm charges in connection to the fatal shootings of Martin Clay, 32, of Davison, and Maria Jenkins, 34, of Highland Park, at a Marathon on Puritan Avenue in July 2025.

A 28-year-old woman and 39-year-old woman, both of Detroit, were also shot, leading to additional charges against Robinson that were later dismissed as part of a plea agreement. Both women survived.
According to police, the altercation began as an argument between Robinson and Jenkins, who was shot multiple times in the incident.
Robinson’s sentencing has been set for 9 a.m. Aug. 20 before Judge Wanda Evan in Michigan’s 3rd Circuit Court. First-degree murder carries a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
