The killer ultimately just wanted to shoot and kill people I believe. The police asked him why he shot the guns, he said because we couldn't move. Such a cowardly move, rip beautiful.

Disgusting. I hope he got life in prison or the death penalty!

He was guilty on all charges and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

A neighborhood parking dispute in Detroit ended in a mass shooting on July 31, 2022. A birthday party on Coyle Street turned deadly after an argument over a driveway led Winston Kirtley Jr. to retrieve a high-powered rifle, described as either an AR-15 or an AK-47, and open fire on a vehicle occupied by 39-year-old Toyake Dishelle Marshall-Thirkield and 38-year-old Andre Willis. Both Marshall-Thirkield and Willis were killed; six other partygoers were wounded.

Police arrested Kirtley and charged him with two counts of first-degree murder, six counts of assault with intent to murder, and multiple felony firearm counts. The case presented conflicting claims about Kirtley’s state of mind; his defense sought a psychological evaluation, while evidence introduced at trial showed multiple firearms placed around his house. A jury found him guilty on all counts and he received life without parole.

If anyone at the party or living on Coyle Street that night has information about how the dispute began or what led up to the shooting, please share what you know.
