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

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 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.

Chickens, geese found at vacant home after nonprofit reports them stolen


Chickens and geese that went missing from a local nonprofit’s Detroit site were found in the backyard of a nearby home, the director of operations said Wednesday.

The Full Circle Foundation, a Grosse Point Park-based nonprofit, said more than a dozen chickens and geese were believed stolen from a chicken coop on Detroit’s east side that also features the Full Circle Edible Garden.

The nonprofit provides training and job opportunities for young people with special needs.

Neighbors who learned from news reports about the missing flock found the “chickens were being held in the backyard of a vacant home not far from the Full Circle Edible Garden,” said Stephanie DiVirgil, director of operations. She said Ribbon Farm 4-H owns the flock.

“The homeowner was contacted, and she reached out to Full Circle to confirm,” said DiVirgil. “We were able to retrieve all of the chickens and geese that were found on the property, 19 in total.”

The foundation and Ribbon Farms 4-H are working to secure the site, including cameras, fencing and lights.

“We will likely start a fundraising campaign to have these items installed,” DiVirgil said. “We’ve gotten amazing support from the community, including offers to help pay for these additional security measures.”
