The stepfather of Davontae Sanford, who was freed from prison after serving eight years for a murder he didn’t commit, was murdered Thursday morning, police say.<\/p>\n

Jermaine Tilmon, of Detroit, was shot in the head and groin at 3600 block of Chatsworth in Detroit. The shooting was reported around 4:15 a.m. The circumstances surrounding his murder are unknown. Police continue to investigate.<\/p>\n

Davontae Sanford was 15 when he pleaded guilty to four murders and was imprisoned in 2008. In early June this year, at the age of 23, he walked out of a pirson when a judge erased the guilty pleas at the request of Wayne County prosecutor Kym Worthy.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Sanford \u00a0served eight years for the murder of four people at a drug den in 2007. He was 14 years old at the time of the so-called “Runyon Street killings,”
\nand pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. A judge sentenced him to a minimum of 39 years in prison.<\/div>\n

Shortly after he went to prison, Sanford’s case came under review when a professional hit man confessed to the Runynon Street murders. Lawyers took up Sanford’s case and eventually secured his release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
