DETROIT (WXYZ) — Four people have been charged in connection to a shooting that killed two people and injured five others last weekend in Detroit.
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy has charged Johnny Lee Marsh III, 25, Eladeo Javier-Antonio Garcia, 22, Alfonso Anaya, 18, all of Detroit, and Amber Renee-Sue McIntee, 21, of Lincoln Park, in the shooting.
It took place at a home where a party was happened in the early morning hours of Nov. 3. A 15-year-old Detroit boy and 19-year-old Gage Schmaltz of Southgate were killed in the shooting. A 16-year-old boy from Pontiac, two 17-year-old boys from Pontiac, an 18-year-old woman from Detroit and an 18-year-old man from Pontiac were injured in the shooting.
