Dispatch Audio: Man Shotgunned In Face On Detroit’s East Side

By

Detroit: December 2 2018 – 235PM – Detroit Police had a mess on their hands today after receiving a shooting call in Detroit’s east side. DPD’s 9th Precinct responded to Corbett & Chalmers after a caller described a shooting where the victim was shot in the forearm, face and head by a shotgun wielding woman.

Upon arrival, one of the responding officers informed dispatch that she was removing herself from the call due to being related somehow to the shooting. I’m not really that much into assuming, but I believe the officer may be related to the shooting victim.

Inside the residence responding officers were greeted by an uncooperative crowd. Those inside the house were refusing to open the door. Inside were 8 children, the youngest being 3 months old and 3 adults. One of those adults was the shooter. Fortunately, although Detroit SRT (SWAT) were notified, those inside the residence handed over the shooter and a long drawn-out barricade situation was averted.

The shooter is described as a female in her mid thirties.

The victim was conveyed by Detroit EMS to St John’s Hospital, condition unknown. The weapon used in the shooting was recovered by officers on the scene and handed over to evidence techs.

The shooting took place earlier this afternoon around 2:40PM and officers were still on scene at the time of this writing @ 8:56PM.

And the wheels on the bus go round and round…

Dispatch Audio: 1 Shot Dead During Home Invasion On Detroit’s West Side

By

Detroit: December 2 2018 -1040AM – Every so often a story comes through the scanner that makes you smile a little, it’s a morbid smile of course, but a smile nonetheless.

Early this morning, 3 Detroit women were setting off to give praise at a local church. The 3, a 29 year old, a 55 year old and a 75 year, no doubt do this every Sunday.

Unfortunately, a ne’er-do-well, we’ll call him Bob, decided that the 3 church going women would make an easy target in his pursuit of preying on the weak.

So Bob saw the 3 women exiting their house on Mark Twain and approached them in the driveway. Bob, being intellectually superior to these 3 helpless women, thought it best to herd them back into the house.

Once inside, the 55 year old woman, we’ll call her Annie, found herself faced with a conundrum. Should she submit to Bob and allow him to steal all her stuff and God forbid, hurt her or her friends? Or should she fight back?

Well, Annie’s from Detroit and she wasn’t going to have any of that nonsense. The particulars are unknown but apparently Annie decided to slap leather and aimed for center mass, firing 2 rounds that took effect.

Well, Bob wasn’t prepared for Annie fighting back and took a body shot. At least 1 round entered through his chest and tore apart some rather important Bob body parts. Bob ended up with a sucking chest wound.

Officer’s from the 2nd Precinct arrived on the scene and noticed Bob wasn’t with us any more and called his condition a “K-Type”…meaning Bob was dead as a doornail.

Bob may very well have come from a broken family, he may have even had a drug or alcohol problem, but Bob was also a predator, preying on innocents.

Bob isn’t anymore, he’s been erased by a very brave woman who may have saved not only her own life, but the lives of her friends.

Go Annie…

Two Detroit Gang Members Convicted Of Attempted Murder In Drive-By Shooting

By

Detroit: November 29 2018 – The Detroit One collaboration of local, state, and federal law enforcement has led to the convictions of two members of a Detroit street gang known as “Bandgang” for attempted murder in aid of racketeering, assault with a dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering, and discharging a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, announced U.S. Attorney Matthew Schneider.

Joining in the announcement was Timothy R. Slater, Special Agent in Charge of the Detroit Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Martez Bailey, 24, of Detroit, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge David M. Lawson. Bailey’s plea agreement calls for a sentence of 25 to 30 years in prison. Bailey’s co-defendant, and fellow Bandgang member, Khalil Wilson, 25, previously pleaded guilty for his role in the drive-by shooting. Wilson’s plea agreement also calls for a sentence of 25 to 30 years in prison.

According to court records, Bailey and Wilson were both part of Bandgang, a local street gang on the west side of Detroit. On June 21, 2016, Bailey and Wilson drove to Biltmore Street in Detroit and fired repeatedly into a house, hoping to kill two rival gang members. Bailey fired a .45 caliber handgun repeatedly while Wilson unloaded an Uzi with an extended magazine capable of holding 50 rounds. A woman in the house unrelated to the gangs was severely injured in the shooting. The attempted murder stemmed from a dispute with two rival gangs, Trust No One (TNO) and Too Much Cash (TMC), prompted, in large part, by jealously over credit card fraud, as well as an earlier shooting by Bandgang members in February 2016 that left a five-year-old girl permanently disabled.

“This type of credit card fraud and identity theft is actually a deadly crime, because gangs are using extreme violence to protect their illegal income,” United States Attorney Matthew Schneider said. “But if gangs in Michigan think they will get off easy, they are wrong – several gang members have been sentenced to a decade or more in prison for credit card fraud.”

This case is the latest in the FBI Violent Gang Task Force’s investigation into Bandgang. In total, twenty-four members and associates of the gang have been charged in sixteen different cases and have received sentences ranging from 36 to 154 months on charges related to attempted murder, credit card fraud, identity theft, firearm offenses, and obstruction of justice. Four different credit card labs have been seized from Bandgang members during the investigation (not counting individual skimmers and embossers), and over 15,000 stolen credit card accounts have been linked to Bandgang members.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Shane Cralle and Terrence Haugabook.
