Detroit’s NE Side: Detroit Police & Fire Companies discovered a dead body inside a burning GMC Yukon early Wednesday morning.

The DPD and DFD were dispatched to the 10300 block of Outer Drive East at 02:50AM Wednesday morning for a vehicle fire/shots fired call.

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

Detroit Police & Detroit Fire Response

An infant was shot Wednesday night around 1020PM. Detroit Police were dispatched to Maddelein & Boulder St on reports of a male shot at the location.

Reports were later updated to include 2 others, 1 being a child.

Detroit Fire’s Engine 48 and DEMS Medic 44 were also dispatched to the scene.

Detroit Fire’s Engine 48 was first to arrive on scene and staged close by, waiting the arrival of police units.

Engine 48 advised Central Dispatch that a child had been shot and they were going to respond to the scene. Detroit police units from the 9th precinct were still enroute and not on scene.

Engine 48 discovered the child and a woman had both been shot and requested an ETA for medics. Central Dispatch advised Engine 48 that Medic 44 had a 5 minute ETA and that Battalion Chief 9 and DEMS supervisor 1104 were also enroute.

Detroit Police units from the 9th Precinct arrived  on scene and decided to convey the child to Henry Ford Hospital on Moross. 9th Precinct Scout 933 transported while other units cleared the way to the hospital, blocking intersections while advising dispatch of 933’s progress.

Engine 48 also reported a female had been shot in the leg and was being conveyed to the hospital by DEMS Medic 44.

No other victims were reported. Both the 4 day old infant male and his 24 year old mother sustained non life threatening injuries.

Detroit Police Seek Bus Shooter

[fvplayer src=”https://youtu.be/vPDuZE62EJw” width=”700″ height=”400″]
 
This is video from a story we broke on March 23, 2017. DPD units from the 9th Precinct responded to reports of a shooting on a DDOT Bus at Harper & Whittier on Detroit’s east side..

Upon arrival, responding officers reported that none of the fired rounds took effect, then quickly amended their report stating some rounds had struck the bus.

The incident began when the DDOT bus was flagged down by a woman at Harper & Whittier. She was quickly followed by the suspect, DeWilliam Pugh. An argument between the suspect and woman took place inside the bus when the bus driver intervened.

The bus driver repeatedly ordered the suspect off the bus until he pushed Pugh off.

Pugh then appears to fire at least 2 rounds in the direction of the driver, missing him. At least 1 round struck the door of the bus.


The following information is on WANTED person DeWilliam Pugh.

DeWilliam Pugh is a black male, 26 years old, 6’0, 160 lbs.

DeWilliam “Pew-Pew” Pugh

He is wanted for an incident that occurred on 4/23/2017 at 8: 45 p.m. at Harper and Whittier, when the suspect shot at the driver of a DDOT bus.

Mr. Pugh is to be considered armed and dangerous and a bit of an idiot. Please do not approach or try to engage him in conversation.

Anyone with information on DeWilliam Pugh’s whereabouts are asked to call Detroit Police at 313-596-5540 or 911.

Detroit EMS conveyed that victim to St Johns Hospital on Moross where he is listed in temp serious condition. A scout described the scene as a “big scene”. Sources report two men were walking in the 1300 block of Lenox when someone in a white Chevrolet Impala fired around 40 shots in their direction.

Double Shooting On Mapleridge

The second shooting occurred on Mapleridge east of Gratiot. Officer’s initially responded to the area for a “shots fired” in rapid succession call. The RP also described a vehicle last seen speeding east on Mapleridge.

The shots fired call was soon upgraded to a man down in the street, not moving. Officer’s from the 9th Precinct found one shooting victim on the scene. The wounds were serious enough for an officer on the scene to ask Detroit EMS to “step it up”.

An additional victim was discovered at St Johns Hospital also suffering from a gunshot wound. That victim was privately conveyed to St Johns in a burgundy/red Pontiac.

Detroit Police report that the two men were working on a car when another car described as a silver Dodge Magnum drove up and stopped. A man dressed in all black exited the second vehicle and fired on the two victims with a “chopper”…or assault type weapon.

Another 911 call to Detroit Police mentioned 2 black males attempting to “flag down” vehicles in the area of Moross & the I-94 freeway, close to St Johns Hospital. The relationship to the shootings is also unknown, but was moments after the discovery of the 2nd victim from the Mapleridge shooting arrived at St Johns Hospital.

The victims from the Mapleridge shooting,  a 53 year old male is listed in serious condition and a 26 year old male is listed in critical condition.

Detroit Police are investigating both shootings.
