Overview
- Detroit police say a 9-year-old boy identified as Jacquise was shot multiple times and underwent surgery after officers responded to ShotSpotter alerts on Wednesday night and found his 20-year-old cousin dead.
- Authorities reported three separate west-side Detroit shootings within about an hour, including the earlier killing of Malik Sterling, and investigators say they have strong leads though a primary suspect in the Brightmoor case remains at large.
- Detroit officers serving a search warrant in the 18900 block of Rosemont were fired upon on Thursday evening, returned fire, and killed a suspect; bodycam footage has been reviewed and the use-of-force probe is active.
- In Phoenix two scenes left teenagers and an apartment resident wounded: a multi-teen shooting near 23rd Avenue and Hazelwood sent at least two teens to hospital and a separate door-knock shooting at the Allora Phoenix Apartments left a man in critical but stable condition while suspects remain sought.
- Chicago police found two people shot behind a Dunning residence who later died and Area Five detectives opened an investigation; across the cases officials say federal partners are aiding Detroit detectives and they are urging residents to share tips as probes continue.
