According to police, the suspect was wanted for a shooting in the 20000 block of Schaefer on Sunday night. That's south of 8 Mile in northwest Detroit.

A witness heard gunshots and looked outside. He saw two men on the ground, both suffering from gunshot wounds.

A 28-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene while the other was taken to the hospital. He died on Monday morning.
