DETROIT (ClickOnDetroit) – Detroit police have arrested 2 juveniles in connection with a triple-fatal shooting on Sunday on the city’s west side, which included the shooting death of a 5-year-old boy.
Police said they received tips & were able to identify the suspects. Police obtained search warrants & the 2 suspects were taken into custody without incident. The suspects have not been identified.
Shalesa Floyd said her grandson, Caleb Harris, was a light. He should be looking forward to his sixth birthday right now & his grandmother can’t comprehend how or why someone would hurt him.
“For you to shoot a 5-year-old in the face? Twice? You could have let him go so he could remain & live,” Floyd said.
Detroit police Chief James White said a man & a woman in their 20s & 30s were also killed in the shooting. The woman was the child’s mother.
White said family members hadn’t heard from the victims in weeks & they found the back door had been kicked in.
“They continued to check the house for additional victims & unfortunately they did find a third victim, a child, in a room deceased,” White said.
The child had been shot multiple times, according to the chief.
“To do this -- it’s like a monster would do this,” Floyd said.
