FLINT, MI – Matthew Dewayne Williams became Flint's record-setting 67th homicide victim in 2012 when he died five months after he was shot at a Flint gas station.
Williams was critically injured when he was shot Nov. 6 at a BP gas station at Clio Road and Myrtle Avenue.
Williams, 24, was taken to Hurley Medical Center in a personal vehicle. Flint police released his name to the media the next day.
Michigan State Police said Williams died earlier this month – becoming Flint’s record-setting 67th homicide for 2012.
“This stat is affirming that the gun violence in Flint is at a historic high,” said Mayor Dayne Walling.
Flint tied its 2010 record with its 66th homicide on Dec. 30 when a man was found shot to death inside a car at Myrtle and Milbourne avenues.
When Flint had a then-record 66 homicides in 2010, it included five suspected homicides of convicted murderer Elias Abuelazam.
“The 2010 statistics included victims from the serial stabber,” Walling said. “The gun violence in 2012 was way ahead of 2010. This is why there has to be federal and state action on illegal guns to curb violence.”

“Democrat industrial cities.”
But Boston, Seattle, Portland, and Pittsburgh are all large Democrat controlled cities with a scintilla of the crime of Detroit, New Orleans, and Flint. So why do some of these Demodrat controlled cities have far more crime and murder than others?
I bet less then 5...
Don't you mean HELLHOLE?
*ahem*
The answer to that question isn’t PC, even when it’s a provable fact.
Yes, the common denominator is that they are LIBERAL CITIES and the parents don't give a F about tyheir kids so the kids get into gangs!!
Living just outside of Detroit, you don’t hear much about Flint anymore. With the population as you stated, their homicide rate is about par with Detroit’s.....
LOL! Ya beat me to it......
Democrat NON-Industrial Cities...
fixed it
Flint’s per capita murder rate is over 5 times higher than Chicago... wow
City hasn’t been the same since the NBA didn’t take the Tropics in the ABA merger
