PONTIAC, Mich. – A 26-year-old man was shot and killed Friday morning at the Newman Court Apartments in Pontiac.

The victim was found lying outside next to a red Chevrolet Equinox. Evidence markers littered the parking lot. 

"I heard 'pop, pop, pop,' like six or seven times," said Ali Brown, who lives nearby. "I looked out my door and I saw a whole bunch of people running."
