On May 18th, 2012, at 5:00 p.m., Max Dvy received an alarming call from his close friend Jonathan Hoffman. Both young men were seniors at Farmington Central High School in the affluent West Bloomfield area near Detroit, Michigan. Their friendship began in ninth grade during an English class. Jonathan revealed to Max that he had recently failed a court-mandated drug screening. He had been on probation since authorities discovered a prohibited synthetic substance in his vehicle two months earlier. The high schooler expressed concern over his grandmother Sandra's intense anger towards him.
Jonathan Hoffman, 17, had been living with his grandparents for nine months following his parents' divorce and their relocation to Arizona. Initially, he moved with them, but after his younger sister was found to have a benign brain tumor requiring multiple surgeries, Jonathan returned to Michigan to stay with his grandmother Sandra Lane. Despite some family concerns, Jonathan thrived at Farmington High School, excelling in academics and securing a full scholarship to Eastern Michigan University.
On that fateful day, Max anticipated a message from Jonathan, but when none came, he called his friend, only to receive no response. At 5:20 p.m., the West Bloomfield Township Police Department received an emergency call from Jonathan, who was struggling to breathe and pleading for help after being shot. The assailant, his grandmother Sandra, had left the scene.
When the police arrived, Sandra, covered in blood, confessed to shooting her grandson. Inside the condo, officers found a gruesome scene with Jonathan suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries by 6:00 p.m. Sandra was charged with his murder and detained without bail.
Sandra claimed self-defense, portraying Jonathan as aggressive due to his drug use. However, friends and family described him as humorous and peace-loving. Evidence showed that Sandra had discharged the firearm multiple times, including shots to Jonathan's back. Toxicology reports revealed no drugs in Jonathan's system at the time of the shooting, contradicting Sandra's claims.
On March 19th, 2013, Sandra Lane was convicted of murder. Before sentencing, she expressed regret, but her daughter Jennifer urged for a harsh punishment, describing her mother as malevolent. Sandra received a minimum sentence of 20 years plus an additional 2-year term for using a weapon. Jonathan's funeral was attended by 700 people who cherished his memory as a cheerful individual.
