On the evening of January 4, 2026, 28-year-old Jalen Coats Stevens of Detroit was shot and killed after an altercation at a lounge on Grand River Avenue spilled onto the street. His brother, Glenn Stevens, was stabbed multiple times in the same incident, taken to a local hospital in critical condition and later survived. Jalen was a father of four.

Detroit police took 42-year-old Michael Alan Harris of Detroit into custody and the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office charged him with First-Degree Murder, Felony Firearm, and Resisting and Obstructing a Police Officer. Harris was arraigned in 36th District Court and remanded to jail, with a probable cause conference and preliminary examination set for later in January 2026.

Investigators say the probe is ongoing and they are seeking information on at least one other suspect, including the person who stabbed Glenn. The family held a vigil attended by hundreds and urged witnesses to come forward.

Did anyone witness the fight outside the lounge on Grand River Avenue or know who else might have been involved?
