Branden Mosley, 25, was critically wounded in a mass shooting at A Eagle’s Coney Island on Dexter Avenue in Detroit on the late evening of July 19, 2020, and died of his injuries on July 31, 2020. He had been at the restaurant with his cousins Carnell Watts, 24, and Cortney Willis, 20, when an argument began that was reportedly over a comment about another patron’s gym shoes.

Surveillance footage showed the patron, identified as 25-year-old Mickey Dane Douglas, produce a handgun and fire at close range. Three people were pronounced dead at the scene; Mosley survived twelve days in hospital before succumbing to his wounds. Detroit police identified and arrested Douglas the morning after the shooting; he was charged in connection with the attack, including counts related to the killings and to possession of a firearm.

The shooting left families and the community mourning four lives lost over what witnesses described as a trivial dispute. If anyone was in the restaurant that night or has information that has not yet been shared with investigators, please come forward.
