PONTIAC, Mich. \u2013 A 32-year-old Pontiac man was sentenced on Thursday to life without the possibility of parole in connection to a fatal drive-by shooting in the city last year.<\/p>\n

An Oakland County jury found Tremaine Jevon Love guilty in July of first-degree murder and several other charges for the murder of 26-year-old Auburn Hills resident Thomas Jerrell Washington in June 2025.<\/p>\n

Witnesses told authorities that a man in a gray car fired several shots near Auburn Avenue and Russell Street in Pontiac<\/a> before fleeing from the scene. According to investigators, Washington suffered gunshot wounds to his wrist, torso and back and was taken to a nearby hospital where he died from his injuries. Multiple shell casings were found at the scene, police said.<\/p>\n

Love was arrested hours later during a traffic stop in the area of Middlebelt and Long Lake roads in West Bloomfield Township. <\/p>\n

The jury found him guilty of all counts, including first-degree murder, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and two counts of felony firearm.<\/p>\n
