Detroit man shot by federal agent died from multiple gunshots, autopsy finds

An autopsy has revealed that a 20-year-old man who was shot to death in a Detroit home by a federal agent serving a warrant died from multiple gunshot wounds.

Wayne County medical examiner's office spokesman Ryan Bridges said Tuesday that Terrance Kellom's death has been ruled a homicide.

According to court records, Kellom was wanted on armed robbery and weapons charges.

Members of the Detroit Fugitive Apprehension Team were allowed into the home on Evergreen Road shortly after 1 p.m. Monday.

"I'm told there was no forced entry to the residence, that they were allowed inside. I'm also told that the agent may have been faced with a threat. It was at that point that he decided to use deadly force," Detroit Police Chief James Craig said.

Kellom was pronounced dead at an area hospital.

The agent, an ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officer, has not yet been named or charged.

“The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer involved with Monday's shooting is a more than 7-year veteran agency employee with no history of adverse personnel actions. While the internal probe is pending, consistent with the agency's Use of Force Policy, the officer has been placed on administrative leave," ICE spokesman Khaalid Walls said.

The officer is a Detroit native and a former "decorated 12-year veteran of the Detroit Police Department, prior to his federal service," Walls said.

People from the neighborhood gathered outside the house after the shooting. Several jostled momentarily with officers and others openly wept.
