A dispute that began inside a west side Detroit liquor store on the morning of February 1, 2022, ended in gunfire and two deaths. Outside in the parking lot, Montgomery allegedly attacked Deberry with a metal bar. Deberry reportedly armed himself with a crowbar and struck Montgomery in the head multiple times. Montgomery then allegedly produced a handgun and fired, striking Deberry and an uninvolved bystander, 60-year-old Raymondo Bankhead.

Emergency services responded on Wyoming Street. Deberry was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries; Bankhead was pronounced dead at the scene. Montgomery was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of felony firearm; he was arraigned in 36th District Court with further proceedings set for later in February and early March. Does anyone have information about the shooting or the men involved that could help clarify what happened?
