Arrest

DETROIT
- A
suspect
is in
custody
after
one of
the
deadliest
Sunday
mornings
this
city has
seen in
months,
a
shooting
inside
an
illegal
after-hours
club on
the west
side
that
left
three
men dead
and four
other
people
wounded.
Police
Chief
Todd
Bettison
confirmed
Tuesday
that
officers
made the
arrest.
A
warrant
has been
sent to
the
Wayne
County
Prosecutor's
Office,
which
will
decide
whether
to file
charges.
Police
have not
named
the
suspect,
and they
say more
details
will
come if
charges
are
filed.
Here is
what
happened.
Just
after
7:20
Sunday
morning,
gunfire
broke
out at a
house on
Prest
Street
near
Eaton
Avenue.
Police
say the
home was
running
as an
unlicensed
after-hours
strip
club.
Chief
Bettison
says an
argument
turned
into a
fight,
and the
fight
turned
into a
shooting.
A
community
violence
worker
says it
started
over a
cell
phone.
Officers
got
there
within
minutes
and
found
three
men
dead,
all
around
30 years
old or
older.
Two men
and two
women,
in their
20s and
30s,
were
hurt.
They
were
taken to
the
hospital
privately,
and
police
say
their
injuries
are not
life-threatening.
Now the
hard
question.
Why was
this
place
still
open?
Neighbors
say the
house
has
operated
as a
late-night
club for
about a
decade.
The
city's
Building
Department
has
since
issued a
code
violation
notice
against
the
property.
A source
tells
our
partners
at 7
News
Detroit
that
police
were
close to
raiding
it. One
neighbor
says he
called
police
the day
before
the
shooting
to warn
about
violence
and saw
a patrol
car
drive
down the
block,
and that
was all.
The
department
has not
answered
questions
about
why the
place
was not
shut
down
sooner.
Chief
Bettison
says
police
will now
step up
enforcement
against
illegal
after-hours
spots
and are
asking
residents
to
report
them.
Community
organizer
Isiah "Zeek"
Williams
has been
pushing
the city
to deal
with
these
places
for some
time.
Families
are
grieving.
One
woman
says her
brother,
a
32-year-old
father
of four,
was
among
the
dead.
Mayor
Mary
Sheffield
says the
city
will
offer
support
services
to the
families
and
neighbors
affected.
An
arrest
is not a
conviction,
and the
investigation
is still
open.
But for
the
people
on Prest
Street,
the
bigger
question
is why
the
warning
signs
did not
lead to
action
before
Sunday
morning.
