On the morning of Tuesday, February 1, 2022, Raymondo Bankhead, 60, was in a liquor store in the 9900 block of Wyoming Street in Detroit when a verbal argument between two other men spilled into the parking lot. The fight escalated: one man was allegedly struck with a metal bar, the other grabbed a crowbar and struck back, and then pulled a handgun and fired two shots. One bullet fatally wounded 57-year-old James Deberry; the other struck Mr. Bankhead, who was described as an innocent bystander and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detroit police found both men with gunshot wounds and medics pronounced Mr. Bankhead deceased at the scene; Deberry was taken to a hospital and later died. John Edward-Dayter Montgomery, 44, was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of felony firearm; court proceedings were set after the incident.
