Prosecutor Kym Worthy has charged Deon Ray Thomas, 32, of Detroit, in connection with non-fatal shootings of a 31-year-old Dearborn Heights man, and a 36-year-old woman and two 14-year-old boys, all of Detroit.
On April 13, 2023, at approximately 8:50 p.m., Detroit police officers were dispatched to a residence in the 13570 block of Penrod Street.
