Noel Night is an annual holiday celebration in Midtown Detroit, featuring holiday shopping, family activities and performances. More than 100 venues participate, according to organizers.
The event was shut down early due to the shooting, police said.
Detroit Police Chief James Craig said they did not expect Noel Night festivities to get out of hand.
"We planned for it, unfortunately we didn't think this senseless violence would happen at this event," Craig said. "But we do staff for it."
