Deputies with the Oakland County Sheriff's Department were called to the scene after a 911 caller reported hearing gunshots. They found two men who had both been shot multiple times.
Relatives identify the victims as 20-year-old Sidney Ward and 24-year-old Tyrone Glenn.
Ward was pronounced dead at the scene. Glenn was taken to the hospital where he died a short time later.
Police say witnesses told them a subject was seen running from the apartment. No name or description has been released.
Loved ones said several people, including the suspect, had been hanging out at the apartment into the early morning hours. The suspect reportedly got drunk and had been shooting dice on the sidewalk. They said he left and came back around 8 a.m. to commit the crime.
Tyrone Glenn's cousin, Markeela Jacob told 7 News Detroit, "He was a son, a brother, a father, a uncle. He was a friend. He was everything. Now, he's gonna be a memory."
"Only a monster would do something like that. To kill two people, even if it was animosity, anger or... ya'll coulda hashed that out. It was no reason to take two lives," she said.
The woman who lives in the apartment where the men were killed didn't want to go on camera, but she said she lost both her brother and her boyfriend in the shooting.
She said she had just come back from dropping her kids off at the school bus when she was chased by the suspect. Again, that was suspect was then seen fleeing the scene.
