Man in custody after shooting leaves 1 dead and 1 injured in Hazel Park

A 21-year-old man is in custody following a shooting in Hazel Park, Michigan, on Friday that left one person dead and another injured, police said. 

The home on Powell Avenue where the altercation took place may have been hosting an "after prom" party, Hazel Park Police Chief William Hamel said. The party did not involve any students from Hazel Park Schools, according to officials.

Several 911 calls were placed about 1:16 a.m. Friday, about a shooting in the 23000 block of Powell Avenue, near Orchard Avenue. This neighborhood is near Nine Mile Road and Interstate 75.  

When police arrived, they said they found a "crowd of people fleeing from a home." They learned that individuals involved exchanged gunfire both inside and outside the home. 

Officers said they found a 20-year-old Detroit man just outside the home. He was taken to an area hospital, where he died as a result of his injuries. 

There was also a 19-year-old Pontiac woman injured in the shooting. She was found several homes away from the scene and was being treated at a local hospital for her injuries on Friday.

Police said Friday evening that the 21-year-old man was taken into custody and that a firearm had been recovered.

Anyone who was at the party or has information about the shooting is asked to call the Hazel Park Police Department at 248-542-6161.
