Trial for Gas Station Killing Delayed
The Port Huron woman accused of killing a man at a local gas station won’t face trial this month after all. Thirty-six-year-old Amber Oile’s April 15 trial is on hold while she undergoes a court‑ordered mental health evaluation. Prosecutors say Oile shot and killed 30‑year‑old Reginald Franklin last October during an argument at a Military Street gas station. Security video showed Oile pulling a gun on Franklin twice, firing several shots, and then shooting him in the head. She’s charged with open murder and remains held without bond in the St. Clair County Jail.
