The Southfield Police Department received calls regarding the incident at approximately 2:47 a.m., and upon arrival, officers discovered the victim with multiple gunshot wounds in the hotel's parking lot.

A tragic episode unfolded before that when a young boy, aged 13, lost his life to gunfire outside a Family Dollar store in Highland Park. These accounts were relayed by The Detroit News.
