A Livonia man has been charged with the New Year’s Day shooting of a father and son at a Garden City bar parking lot. Brian Jaron Lindsay, 29, faces multiple charges, including two counts of assault with intent to murder and felony firearms possession. After the shooting, which occurred at 4:16 a.m., Lindsay fled the scene but later turned himself in at 6 p.m. on the same day, as reported by ClickOnDetroit.
The victims, a 55-year-old father and his 22-year-old son, were in critical condition following the incident, which started as a physical altercation before escalating to gunfire. With gunshot wounds in the head and chest, the son and father were taken to the hospital, found critically injured in the parking lot by the authorities. The incident shut down Ford Road from Wildwood to Venoy as police conducted their early morning investigation, according to details released by FOX 2 Detroit.
Lindsay was arraigned yesterday, facing multiple counts ranging from assault with intent to murder to felonious assault. A $1 million cash or surety bond has been set, as stated by The Detroit News. Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy laid out the charges in a release yesterday following Lindsay’s arraignment.
As the community seeks to make sense of the violence that greeted the year, the next court date for Lindsay has been announced for January 12. The shooting has left a mark on the tranquility of Garden City, with residents looking ahead to the legal proceedings. Information surrounding the incident and Lindsay's arraignment is continuing to develop, and more details are expected to emerge in the upcoming court date, as per the ongoing reporting from local news sources.
