Two men were left in a critical condition as the circumstances leading up to the shooting continue to be investigated.
Detroit has witnessed a sharp rise in the number of homicides and non-fatal shootings in the past year, which police said often stemmed from unresolved disputes that escalated to violence.
Homicides were up in Detroit nearly 31 percent and shootings resulting in wounds rose 53 percent compared with 2019, the Justice Department said."I've never seen as many illegal guns on the streets as we have today. If they want to have more ATF [Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives] officers dealing with the illegal trafficking of guns, that would be a welcome contribution," he said.
That same month the Department for Justice revealed it was expanding its Operation Legend to Detroit in a bid to help state and local officials fight high levels of violent crime, particularly gun violence. More than 40 federal agents from the FBI, DEA [Drug Enforcement Administration] and ATF were to be sent to the city under the plan, including 11 new ATF Special Agents and five new FBI Special Agents to focus on violent crime in the city. An additional 10 Detroit ATF agents were reassigned to work on violent gun crimes.
The Bureau of Justice Assistance made available $1.4 million to support Operation Legend's violent crime reduction efforts in Detroit, and an additional $2.4 million was given to the Detroit Police Department to fund the hiring of 15 officers.
