Detroit — Two men in Detroit are dead — one on the east side, one on the west side — after being shot in their homes early Monday morning, said Officer Dan Donakowski of the Detroit Police Department. Both homicides took place near Warren Avenue.
A 43-year-old male was shot dead on Detroit’s east side after answering his door. Police responded to a 911 call on the 5300 block of Iroquois, between Gratiot and Warren Avenue, at 2:41 a.m.
After his girlfriend heard an early morning knock on the door, the 43-year-old male victim responded. After having words with the person at the door, shots were fired, and the victim was hit in the body. He was transported to a local hospital but was declared dead on arrival, Donakowski said.
Police do not yet have a description of the suspect.
In another case on the 5000 block of Vancourt, near Warren Avenue on Detroit’s west side, a 25-year-old male was killed around 4:30 a.m. in what police say was a home invasion. After a suspect entered the home, the victim was shot multiple times.
The man’s girlfriend called 911. Police transported the victim to a local hospital, but he was declared dead on arrival.
Police do not yet have a description of the suspect.
