Detroit minister and gospel music artist Marvin Winans was assaulted and carjacked at a gas station on Detroit’s west side.
The attack happened at approximately 3:20 p.m on Wednesday May 16th. Winans was at the Citgo Gas Station at Linwood and Davison when he was robbed. The carjackers robbed him and took his deep purple Infiniti QX56 SUV.
The 54-year-old minister told WXYZ-TV that four or five young men followed him from inside the gas station and attacked him while he pumped gas into his vehicle.
Winans says he wasn’t seriously hurt, but planned to seek medical attention.
He says his attackers appeared to be among 10 young men he passed by inside the station. Winans is the presiding pastor of the 4,500-member Perfecting Church on Detroit’s east side. In February, he gave singer Whitney Houston’s eulogy.
