The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office claims that a Detroit man was losing money on a dice game when he shot and killed two guys in a Pontiac apartment. The man has since been taken into custody.
The 32-year-old guy opened fire on the victims after losing $80 in a dice game, according to investigators. In Southfield, he was taken into custody at 8 Mile and Evergreen approximately 12 hours following the lethal incident.
Tuesday, October 8, just after 8 a.m., at Arborview Village Apartments, south of M-59, in the 100 block of North Sanford Street, close to the intersection of Fiddis Avenue and North Sanford Street, was where the shooting took place.
Upon their arrival, deputies discovered that the two men, Tyrone Davis Glenn Jr., a 24-year-old native of Pontiac, and Sidney Ward III, 20, both from Highland Park, had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
Glenn tied soon after the gunshot at the hospital, and Ward was declared dead at the scene.
Family members informed reporter Darren Cunningham yesterday that a number of individuals, including the suspect, had lingered at the flat far into the morning.
According to reports, the suspect shot dice on the sidewalk after getting intoxicated. He allegedly went and returned to carry out the crime at eight in the morning.
Tyrone Glenn’s cousin, Markeela Jacob stated that, “He was a son, a brother, a father, a uncle. He was a friend. He was everything. Now, he’s gonna be a memory.”
“Only a monster would do something like that. To kill two people, even if it was animosity, anger or… ya’ll coulda hashed that out. It was no reason to take two lives,” she stated.
The resident of the flat where the men were shot and died declined to speak to us on camera, but she did tell us that she lost her brother and her boyfriend in the incident.
Though witnesses informed police they heard the rounds, investigators said the gunman attempted to muffle the sound of the shots with a potato.

According to the police, the suspect left the residence and got into an Uber before escaping the area at South Boulevard and Woodward Avenue. During the course of the inquiry, two semi-automatic handguns were found.
Upon his arrest later that day, detectives claim the defendant was in possession of a case beer and two grocery bags.
“I am super proud of our substation, all our detectives and our partners for the effort that brought this cold-blood killer into custody within 12 hours,” Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard stated. “I have been in this a long time, but it is still shocking to see the lack value some people place on a human life. I look forward to him being brought to the bar of justice and held accountable.”
