PONTIAC, MI – One person is dead and two are injured after shots were fired into the crowd during a parking lot party at a Michigan apartment complex, officials said.
It happened around 12:26 a.m. Wednesday at North Hill Farms Apartment Complex on Cherry Hill Drive in Pontiac, according to a news release from the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office. An argument broke out and escalated, and shots were fired.
When deputies arrived, they found that three men in their 20s had been shot. A 24-year-old Pontiac man was shot in the head and died. The other victims were shot in the leg; they were taken to a local hospital, treated and released.
“We are looking for assistance in locating the individual(s) that committed this cowardly and despicable violent act by shooting into a crowd,” Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said in a statement. “The only way we can stop senseless violence is when people speak up.”
