Overview
- A contracted custodian, 25-year-old Devin Burns, was found with a gunshot wound in the parking lot of Chrysler Elementary School after hours and later died at a hospital.
- Detroit police identified and arrested 43-year-old Kevin Flagg and the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office has charged him with one count of second-degree murder, one count of manslaughter and two counts of felony firearm.
- Flagg was arraigned in district court and initially received a $250,000 cash or surety bond that a judge later reduced to $150,000 cash or surety.
- Investigators say a verbal dispute between the two men turned physical before the suspect allegedly produced a handgun and fired, and school officials confirm no students or staff were on campus when the shooting occurred.
- The case is moving through pretrial steps with a probable cause conference and a preliminary examination scheduled in late July, and prosecutors note felony firearm charges carry mandatory sentencing enhancements that will shape potential penalties if Flagg is convicted.
