Detroit Man Charged After Double Shooting in Livonia
Incidents Leave Two Men Wounded
In a shocking turn of events, a 25-year-old man from Detroit has been hit with serious charges after a late-night shooting spree in Livonia over the weekend. Kamari Dushawn Parham is facing multiple counts, including two counts of assault with intent to murder, as well as charges for using a firearm during the commission of a felony. The authorities have made it clear that they mean business: a judge has slapped a hefty $1 million bond on Parham, and his next court date is set for November 14.
The Shootings Unfold
The dramatic incidents took place early Sunday morning at the Snooker’s Pool & Pub on Schoolcraft Road. Police received a call around 1:20 a.m., reporting a shooting at the popular bar. Upon arrival, officers were greeted with a troubling scene: a 36-year-old man lying wounded just inside the entrance, suffering from a gunshot wound to his back. Quick-thinking officers provided immediate medical assistance, showing their dedication to keeping the community safe.
But that wasn’t the end of it. While they were dealing with one victim, dispatchers got another call regarding a second shooting victim, this time at a nearby Holiday Inn, just half a mile away from the bar. Officers zoomed over and found a 31-year-old man nursing a gunshot wound to his leg. It was clear that something big had gone down.
A Heated Situation
According to investigators, the two men who were shot had become embroiled in a physical altercation at the bar. Things escalated quickly when Parham allegedly pulled out a handgun and fired shots at the men, striking both of them. The man who got shot in the leg managed to escape the chaos and made his way to the hotel, where he was ultimately located by the police.
What’s Next for Parham?
As it stands, if Parham is convicted of assault with intent to murder, he could be facing a significant prison sentence, with the possibility of serving up to life behind bars. At this point, court records do not indicate that Parham has legal representation, raising questions about how he will navigate the legal system in the weeks to come.
The Community Reacts
The incidents have sent shockwaves through the Livonia community, which is known for its generally peaceful atmosphere. Local residents are expressing their concern over safety and the rising violence, emphasizing the need for more support and awareness surrounding such troubling events. It’s a poignant reminder that even in familiar places, unpredictable situations can occur.
A Call for Action
As authorities continue their investigation, they are urging anyone with additional information about the incident to come forward. Community vigilance is key to preventing such incidents in the future. The Livonia Police Department has made it clear that they are committed to serving and protecting the community and will not tolerate violence at any level.
Conclusion
As this case unfolds, many will be watching closely to see how the justice system tackles the matter and what it means for the safety of residents in Livonia and the surrounding areas. With the next court hearing just around the corner, we can only hope for a resolution that will bring some sense of safety back to the community.
