2 Dead In Possible Murder-Suicide

Detroit’s West Side (9:45AM): Detroit EMS Medic 17 was notified by citizens that a shooting had taken place at the Mobil Gas Station, across from Medic 17’s quarters @ Fenkell & Greenfield.

Upon arrival, DEMS Medic 17 discovered 2 people had been shot and requested a 2nd medic rig to the scene. That request was canceled when Medic 17 notified dispatch that the 2 shooting victims were deceased. DEMS Medic 17 requested DPD to the scene and was given an estimated 5 minute arrival time for scouts.

Moments earlier, DPD was notified of a 911 call stating that someone in the Mobil Gas Station was requesting a unit to the location stating that “someone was trying to kill him and he has a weapon in his pocket, the weapon though can’t be seen.” It’s unknown if the caller is talking about himself or someone else.

DPD is investigating, closing down streets, dealing with large crowds appearing and attempting to sort the situation out. DPD is stating that this was a random shooting by the gunman who, after shooting down another person, committed suicide.

The DPD is still dealing with crowd control issues at the time of this writing.

Double Fatal Shooting On Detroit’s NE Side

January 1 2018

Detroit’s NE Side: Detroit Police found the bodies of 2 people @ 9241 McKinney St on Detroit’s NE side today at 2:15PM. Both were dead from GSWs to the head…but more on that later.

The story on the double fatal shooting starts yesterday, on New Years Eve.

Detroit Police units from the 9th Precinct were called to the same residence, 9241 McKinney, at 10:18PM Sunday evening.

Tweet below is from yesterday @ 10:18PM.

DPD’s 9th Precinct dispatched a unit to “an unknown problem”. The unidentified male caller gave the address on McKinney and stated someone was shot or injured at the address, then discontinued the call.

Sunday Evening Dispatch To 9241 McKinney

 

No further was reported on that call. No disposition was caught on dispatch tapes, so I have no clue what happened after the units made the scene.

I’m assuming they found nothing that would demand further investigation and cleared the call. It was a busy New Year’s Eve with calls stacking up.

Which brings us back to New Years Day at 2:15PM.

Apparently, someone in the gang unit received information that there was a dead body at the scene.

Who gave them that information is unknown…but one can assume.

Gang Unit 2403 then went to the address and was overheard on dispatch stating he was investigating a possible dead body and needed a 9th Precinct supervisor and a scout car at the scene.

January 1 2018 Dispatch to Double Fatal Shooting Scene

 

Inside the dwelling they found 2 dead bodies, 1 36 year old female and 1 male, age unknown.

Both had been shot in the head and pronounced dead on the scene by Detroit EMS.

3 children of the female victim were thought to be missing early Monday, but have since been found safe in the care of a relative.

 

UPDATE January 1 2018 10:44PM
