teenagers were killed and other people injured in a shooting at a home in , , early on August 3, 2026, according to reporting by ClickOnDetroit and WXYZ. The death toll of was reported by ClickOnDetroit, citing police; the figure of injured was reported by both outlets. Accounts of who gave the figures differ: WXYZ attributed them to , while ClickOnDetroit attributed them to police. The incident remains active and developing.
Why the group was at the house is described differently by the outlets. ClickOnDetroit reported that a birthday celebration and pajama party for a group of teenagers was being held at a short-term rental home, with about 15 young people present and most of them asleep when the shooting began. WXYZ reported that, according to police, a party or gathering was underway at a home in the area of Granzon and Coolidge when the shooting happened. ClickOnDetroit placed the home on Coolidge Highway, just south of Nine Mile; officials have described the location at level.
Family members and friends identified the who died as Dashaun Green, 19, and Teris King, 18, according to ClickOnDetroit and WXYZ; Green's father, Davains Green, spoke to reporters. The names were released by relatives and friends rather than by officials.
police said officers were dispatched to the home at approximately 4:48 a.m. after multiple reports of gunfire, and that the call reporting the shooting came in just before 5 a.m., with several people outside the location when officers arrived. Family and friends said dozens of shots were fired from outside the home shortly before 5 a.m. Davains Green said a teenager at the party heard gunshots at "about 4-something in the morning." Police, Public Safety and the Oakland County Crime Scene Analysis Unit are involved in the response. No suspect has been identified and no motive has been established.
Chief Steve Cooper said: "With all the promise that the young adults… had, it's just a terrible tragedy," adding, "On behalf of the city of and the entire department, our heart goes out to them, our condolences and we're committed to doing everything we can to try and find out who's responsible for this." City Manager Erik Tungate said: "This senseless act of violence and disregard for human life will not be tolerated in our community," and that the city is "dedicating every available resource to this investigation." ClickOnDetroit reported that anyone with information should contact Public Safety at 248-691-7520, or call 911 in an emergency; WXYZ reported only that .
This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble — all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.
Reports are built from primary sources — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.
Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.
None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
