A 20-year-old man was killed and a 19-year-old woman wounded after shots were fired at a house party overnight on Friday on Powell Avenue near I-75 in Hazel Park.
Police were called to the area around 1:15 a.m. following multiple reports of a shooting in the area. Officers arrived on the scene to find a crowd of people fleeing from the home and the male victim inside. The female victim was located several houses down with non-life threatening injuries, and both victims were transported to a nearby hospital, where the male victim was pronounced dead.
According to police, the gathering was an “after-prom” party and the shooting occurred after a dispute led individuals to exchange gunfire both in and outside the home.
Detectives are still investigating and working to obtain search warrants in relation to the case.
