DETROIT, MI – Tragedy struck Detroit’s west side as authorities responded to a distressing scene involving the deaths of three men in what appears to be a murder-suicide. Late Monday evening, gunfire shattered the quiet of a residential neighborhood near Pinehurst and the intersection of 8 Mile and Meyers.
Upon arrival, Detroit police discovered the bodies of three men, all of whom were related. The grim discovery was made shortly after 6 p.m., with each victim found with fatal gunshot wounds.
