Police release person of interest in fatal shooting at Great Lakes Crossing

AUBURN HILLS – The person of interest taken into custody in connection to the fatal shooting at Great Lakes Crossing Outlets on Saturday has been released, Auburn Hills police confirmed Tuesday.

The shooting occurred near the food court around 5:20 p.m. One man was killed — later identified by family members as 20-year-old KeShawn Emery, of Pontiac — and a 19-year-old woman was injured.

The alleged shooter, identified as a 22-year-old man from Detroit, remained at the scene and cooperated with law enforcement. Police say he has a valid Concealed Pistol License.

The sheriff’s office say the altercation began at the mall earlier in the day, and when they crossed paths again in the food court a fight broke out. Police say the shooter told investigators he was jumped by the victim who died and another unknown man before the shots were fired.

Police are still asking that anyone who may have witnessed the incident reach out to the Auburn Hills Police Department at 248-370-9444.
