ROYAL OAK, Mich. – One person was killed in a shooting that happened in the parking lot of a Royal Oak apartment complex on Thursday, police said.
At about noon on July 31, police responded to the Devon Park Apartments in the 3800 block of Crooks Road, which is located across the street from Royal Oak High School, after receiving a report of shots being fired.
According to police and witnesses, an argument that started inside an apartment continued into the parking lot.
A man was then shot multiple times in the parking lot and died from his injuries, police said.
