Shortly after 4:00 a.m. on May 25, 2021, a home on Inkster Road in Inkster, Michigan, was the scene of two linked violent incidents. Police first responded to a shooting where the girlfriend of Burnis King suffered non-fatal gunshot wounds to her leg and backside and was taken for treatment. Officers seized a firearm registered to King during that initial response as a precaution.

About two hours later, around 6:05 a.m., an assailant returned to the residence and fatally shot Burnis King in the head while he was on his front porch. Investigators said the attackers may have been watching the property and waited for police to leave, or the earlier shooting may have been intended to draw King out. The Michigan State Police opened the investigation and looked for links to other recent violence in the area. No named suspects or arrests were reported at the time.

If anyone has information about the shootings at the Inkster home on May 25, 2021, please come forward.
