Carmello Wilson, 17, was sentenced to 22 to 32 years in prison for the ’23 murder of 19-year-old Curtis “KC” Cureton in Flint. Wilson, who was charged as an adult despite being 15 at the time, shot Cureton in a parking lot near the intersection of Lapeer Avenue and 13th street, after claiming he acted in self-defense. Wilson said he feared Cureton, but the prosecution pointed out contradictions in his story, including photos where he was seen playing with a gun.
