On the evening of December 29, 2024, police responded to a reported shooting at an apartment complex on Belle Chase Boulevard in Lansing, Michigan. Officers found two men with gunshot wounds; 36-year-old Deandre Luckey was one of them. Both were taken to a local hospital, where Luckey died and a 25-year-old man survived.

Investigators from the Lansing Police Department and Michigan State Police reviewed surveillance footage from the complex. Prosecutors say the video shows Luckey, who was armed with a pistol, initiating a physical altercation in an apparent attempt to rob the younger man. The 25-year-old fired in response, striking Luckey three times in the upper torso. After reviewing the evidence, the Ingham County Prosecuting Attorney ruled the shooting justified as self-defense under Michigan law and declined to file criminal charges; the surviving man’s name was not released.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who saw the incident or who can add detail about the events that night?
