Seven people were shot at a party on Nov. 3, the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement.

Five were wounded: 16-year-old boy from Pontiac; two 17-year-old boys from Pontiac; an 18-year-old woman from Detroit; and an 18-year-old man from Pontiac.

The two who died were identified as Gage Schmaltz, 19, of Southgate, and a 15-year-old boy from Detroit.

According to the release, on Nov. 3 around 1:30 a.m., officers were dispatched to a residence in the 6300 block of Devereaux Street for a reported block party or large gathering. 

Officials said multiple gunshots were fired from a vehicle into a crowd of people before the suspects fled the scene. Officers pursued the vehicle to the intersection of Gilbert and Devereaux street, where the suspects exited the vehicle and fled the scene on foot. 

After a brief foot chase, officers arrested Garcia and Marsh. Following an investigation, police later arrested Anaya and McIntee on Nov. 6.

Police believe a verbal altercation escalated and the suspects fired shots into the crowd, striking Schmaltz and the 15-year-old victim in the head. The 16-year-old Pontiac boy was hit in the face, a 17-year-old victim was hit in the chest and arm and the other 17-year-old victim was hit in the face, authorities reported.

The 18-year-old Detroit woman was hit in the right leg and the 18-year-old Pontiac man was hit in the face, chest and back. 

The 15-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene and the other victims were transported to a local hospital. Schmaltz succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead later that day.

McGonigle, in his 16th game this season, is hitting .310, behind only Colt Keith on the Tigers. McGonigle has six doubles.

“Fly ball, right field, deep, got a chance, No. 1 for Kevin McGonigle!” Dan Dickerson said on the TV broadcast.

McGonigle previously twice crushed a ball to the wall earlier this season, only to result in a loud out.

Against the San Diego Padres in his second MLB game March 27, McGonigle was robbed of a home run in center field by Jackson Merrill. He hit the ball 403 feet, connecting for a 104.2 mph exit velocity.

In his first at-bat in the Tigers’ home opener April 3, against the St. Louis Cardinals, McGonigle again smashed a ball 403 feet, with a 103.5 mph exit velo to the warning track in left-center. It would have been a home run in 12 MLB parks − but not at Comerica Park.

Boos rain down on Red Wings after missing playoffs for 10th straight season

Boos rain down on Red Wings after missing playoffs for 10th straight season


play

Detroit — The boos were loud and stinging and showed how frustrated Red Wings fans are.

They rained down after the Wings’ 5-3 loss to New Jersey, officially eliminating the Wings from the Stanley Cup playoffs, and during the final minutes as the Wings struggled to generate a goal and at least earn a point for the standings.

They didn’t score. They lost. And fans let them hear about it.

The Wings now own the longest streak of not making the playoffs in the NHL, at 10 consecutive seasons. Without a doubt, fans aren’t happy about it.

Coach and players understood the booing, accepted it as the fans simply not being happy with the same outcome now, season after season.

“This is Detroit, this is Hockeytown,” said coach Todd McLellan, who was an assistant coach on the Wings’ last Stanley Cup winning team in 2008. “I’ve been lucky enough to be on the other side of it, when they couldn’t stop cheering for this team. They’re dying for that. They crave that.

“That’s what they want, and I don’t even know if they want a Stanley Cup championship anymore. They just want a team that will come and give them something to cheer about.”

Players in the last few weeks referenced the “outside noise” from fans, alluding to the pressure or negativism from fans, and they have been attempting to keep it outside of the locker room.

The fans, said McLellan, have the right to express their opinions after 25 consecutive years of making the playoffs with four Stanley Cups during that timeframe.

“This outside noise stuff or whatever, that’s inside noise, those are our fans in our building and they pay to watch us play, and we get paid well to perform for them,” McLellan said. “They’re fulling entitled to their opinion and we deserve that opinion.

“There’s no other way to sugarcoat it. That’s what we earned.”

Captain Dylan Larkin said it was “difficult” to hear the booing.

“Our fans are great, they are passionate and they care about winning,” Larkin said. “There’s been some great years here and they want us back to that. That’s what they expect here.”

Lucas Raymond said it “stinks” to end the season the way the Wings did, and have fans boo at Little Caesars Arena.

“We had a clear goal coming into this year and we didn’t do it,” Raymond said. “We had plenty of opportunities throughout this season and especially down the stretch.”

McLellan feels the Wings need to do a better job of facing and conquering the pressure and challenge of meaningful games late in the season.

“I felt a little bit of that last year, I’ve lived a year of it now and it’s there,” said McLellan of the external pressure. “But we keep earning that. We earned that pressure and that outside (“noise”) but you can except the pressure as challenge or you can succumb to it and we seem to choose the second one (succumb to it).

“That’s the way it is and the only way you get out of it is, you work your way out of it.”
