Convenience Store Shooting Suspects Brought to Justice: With Help from Flock Cameras

A convenience store argument between four men escalated to gunfire in Summit Township, Michigan. Luckily, no one was hurt, and no victims were located. 

Deputies were dispatched to the scene for a shots fired call and found multiple shell casings and an unoccupied vehicle that had been shot several times.

Deputies investigated the scene by reviewing business and residential surveillance cameras that showed two men leaving the store in a black SUV and the other two attempting to enter a small sedan parked in a nearby alley. 

Police state that footage shows the black SUV enter the roadway when the front passenger leaned out of the window and began shooting at the two men in the sedan. Both of the vehicles then proceeded to leave the area. 

‍Flock Safety Cameras were utilized by the deputies to eventually identify the SUV which was located at a nearby residence within a few hours. Deputies executed a search warrant on the property and identified the following suspects involved in the shooting: 29-year-old Kevin Jamall Johnson and 25-year-old Martez Anthony Haywood Jr.
