Overview
- Jasan Delanta Martin, 32, was arrested Oct. 19 in Warren after a multiagency raid and was charged in the Oct. 14 ambush outside Jawad’s Macomb Township home.
- Prosecutors filed counts of assault with intent to murder, possession of a weapon by a prohibited person, carrying a weapon with unlawful intent, and three felony‑firearm charges, with a fourth‑offense habitual offender enhancement.
- Martin stood mute at arraignment and a not guilty plea was entered; the court scheduled a probable‑cause conference for Nov. 3 and a preliminary exam for Nov. 10.
- Investigators say surveillance shows a gunman scaling a wall, waiting roughly an hour, then firing multiple shots as Jawad drove off; Jawad suffered leg wounds and was released from the hospital the same day.
- Detectives linked a Ford Escape to the case using traffic cameras, Ford Global Security data and distinctive marks such as bird droppings, brake dust and smudges, executed about 23 search warrants, and report the motive remains undetermined.
