The passenger, 19-year-old Kemarrie Phillips, was charged Tuesday with open murder. Phillips, from Pontiac, was denied bond and will stay in jail.
Terrell was taking Phillips from the Walmart in Auburn Hills to Pontiac, not far from the final destination where she was murdered at the corner of Putnam and Rundell. Police say Phillips shot her in the head before fleeing on foot.

Her family says they don't understand the motive. Terrell's purse and jewelry were untouched - a robbery was not it. And he has no prior criminal charges.
