LANSING, Mich. — A Lansing man has been charged with murder following a shooting that left a teenager dead and six others hurt in the early hours of Memorial Day 2024.
Officials say that 20-year-old Damarion Joseph McCall was arraigned on Saturday on open murder and six counts of assault with intent to murder.
The charges stem from a May 27 shooting on the 300 block of Riverfront Drive in Lansing.
Police say that officers found seven people with gunshot wounds when they arrived near the Lansing Shuffle around 2:50 a.m.
We’re told that 17-year-old Kylete Owens died after being shot in the head.
McCall also faces charges for carrying a weapon with unlawful intent and eight counts of felony firearm.
McCall is being charged as a habitual third offender. Bond was set at $500,000 cash and has not been posted.
Court documents obtained Monday reveal the extensive evidence collected by investigators. Police found 58 shell casings from four different guns at the scene, including 19 high-powered rifle rounds and 39 handgun casings.
According to detectives, McCall and others arrived at the scene wearing face coverings and appeared to scout the area for potential victims. Witnesses told police they saw McCall moments before the shooting began.
Surveillance video allegedly shows McCall firing into the crowd, chasing victims and discarding his shoes as shots rang out. The video appears to show McCall aiming at Owens specifically.
DNA evidence from McCall's discarded shoes provided "very strong support" linking him to the crime, investigators said.
McCall is currently the only person charged in connection with the shooting. Other suspects have not been identified. McCall was lodged in the Ingham County Jail for violating a preliminary injunction according to jail records.
McCall was scheduled to be released January 15.
McCall is scheduled for a probable cause conference on January 9 and a preliminary examination January 16.
