Two Dead, Four Shot in Detroit East Side Violence

Two separate shootings occurred on Detroit's east side on Thursday, resulting in fatalities and injuries. The first shooting, around 11 a.m. on Bewick Street, left two people dead after an altercation between two gunmen; authorities suggested one shooting may have been in self-defense, and a suspect with a concealed pistol license was taken into custody with two weapons recovered. Later that day, a dispute over money on Strong Street escalated to gunfire, injuring two people; one suspect was arrested following a police traffic stop. Police have not released the identities or detailed motives in either case, and both investigations are ongoing. Detroit officials noted a concerning rise in violence despite overall crime reductions and pledged intensified enforcement efforts. City leaders also reaffirmed their commitment to holding offenders accountable and deterring further violence.
