DETROIT, MI — Officials are delaying the release of an autopsy report in the death of a fugitive shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, citing the sensitivity of an ongoing investigation in the case.
Terrance Kellom, 20, died April 27 after being shot when a law enforcement task force attempted to arrest him at a home on Detroit’s west side.
He was wanted as an alleged probation absconder and as a suspect in a March 31 robbery of a pizza delivery man.
He was shot multiple times by an ICE agent who was a member of the Detroit Fugitive Apprehension Team, according to police.
Maria Miller, spokesperson for the Wayne County Prosecutor’s office, told the Associated Press the autopsy report won’t immediately released because it contains information that could interfere with the investigation.
Police have said Kellom was advancing on the ICE agent with a hammer when he was shot.
Kellom’s father Kevin Kellom, who was in the house at the time of the shooting, has insisted his son had no hammer.
