Wayne County prosecutor files 14 felony counts on "after-hours" club shooting investigation
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy announced 14 charges in the aftermath of a mass shooting on Sunday in Detroit's west side that left three people dead and four others injured.
A 25-year-old Detroit man will face arraignment Friday on three counts premeditated murder, four counts assault with intent to murder and seven counts of felony firearm, Worthy said.
According to investigators, the shooting stemmed from a fight at a location described as an "after-hours" strip club. The Detroit Police Department said one person was arrested this week.
The shooting investigation
A SpotShotter notification alerted police about 7:21 a.m. Sunday to possible gunfire at the home near Eaton Avenue and Prest Street. Police Chief Todd Bettison said on Tuesday the three men who died were "approximately 30 and up." Four others, two men and two women, were privately taken to a hospital after the shooting with injuries.
Bettison also said the home where the shooting occurred was under investigation, adding police have taken seven calls for service to the address.
It's unknown what the nature of those calls is.
Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield assigned the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood and Community Safety to arrange wraparound services as appropriate for the residents and families affected by the shooting.
Police asked anyone with information about the incident to contact Crime Stoppers of Michigan at 800-SPEAK-UP.
