DETROIT (WWJ) - A young woman murdered at the Corktown Inn was the first of five people who died in Detroit over a 24-hour period last week.
Along with the 21-year-old woman who was shot and killed at the Inn, a 20-year old was shot and killed while sitting in a car on East Warren near Alter Road.
A 23-year-old man died after being shot during a fight on Davison near Dexter. A 37-year old died after being shot after an argument with family members at a home on Hereford Street near Cadiuex and Warren. And a 49-year old who was working outside a bar on East Davison near McNichols was found dead early Saturday.
