Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy has charged Christopher Demitrius Peterson, 24, of Inkster, in connection with the fatal shooting of Dante Carey, 49, of Romulus.
According to Worthy, Romulus police officers were dispatched to a residence in the 30100 block of Jamestown Street at about 10:17 p.m. July 3 after receiving calls reporting a shooting. When officers arrived at the home, they found Carey unresponsive suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Medics arrived on the scene and transported Carey to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased.
It is alleged that a verbal altercation between the defendant and the victim escalated, and Peterson produced and fired a handgun, fatally wounding Carey.
Peterson has been charged with second-degree Murder and felony firearm violations. He was arraigned in 34th District Court and given a $250,000 cash bond. A probable cause conference is scheduled for July 17, before Judge Brian Oakley
