On July 7, 2024, a block party on Rossini Drive in Detroit ended in a mass shooting that killed 21-year-old Phillip Arnold Jr. and 20-year-old Shanae Fletcher. The event, attended by an estimated 350 people, was struck by a volley of gunfire about 2:25 a.m.; nineteen others aged 16 to 24 were wounded. Investigators described the attack as gang-related and said specific individuals at the party appeared to have been targeted. Surveillance footage showed a group in hoodies approaching the gathering and later firing into the crowd.

Detroit police, the Homicide Task Force and the Gang Intelligence Unit pursued leads for months. On January 7, 2025, authorities arrested 19-year-old Demitrus Tiwan Shaw of Detroit and charged him with two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Phillip Arnold Jr. and Shanae Fletcher, 19 counts of assault with intent to murder and 21 counts of felony firearm; bond was set at $1 million and he was remanded to jail. Police said the investigation remained active because they believed others were involved.

If anyone attended that party or has information about who else was involved, please come forward.
