Pontiac Man Accused In Oakland County Triple Homicide

OAKLAND COUNTY, MI — Three people are dead and a fourth seriously injured following a Wednesday night shooting in Pontiac, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office said.

Deputies said a 32-year-old Pontiac man has been accused of shooting the four victims and is expected to be arraigned this week.

The shooting took place around 9:10 p.m. Wednesday at Spring Lake Village Apartments in Pontiac, deputies said. Deputies said they were dispatched to the 200 block of Carriage Circle Drive following multiple 911 calls regarding a shooting with multiple victims. When deputies arrived, they said they found four victims on the front porch, inside the home and on the front lawn of a home.

The first victim was found on the front porch and had already died, deputies said. The other
three victims were taken to local hospitals to receive treatment, according to police.

Two of those transported died shortly after getting to the hospital, police said. A fourth person remains in serious condition, according to police.

Deputies said the shooting was the result of an ongoing dispute between neighbors relating to an assault from 2014. The victims had been on the front porch of the shooter's home, and he went outside and opened fire with a handgun before running from the scene.

While detectives worked the scene, police said the shooter turned himself in at the Pontiac Substation. The weapon used in the shooting was later recovered from a home in the 700 block of Whittemore, police said.
