On the night of July 19, 2020, 24-year-old Carnell Watts was fatally shot inside A. Eagle’s Coney Island on Detroit’s west side. Two other men, 34-year-old Brian Jackson and 20-year-old Courtney Willis, reportedly Watts’s stepbrother, were also killed; a fourth man was wounded and survived.

Investigators quickly identified 25-year-old Mickey Dane Douglas of Detroit as a suspect and took him into custody shortly after the shooting. The Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office charged Douglas with three counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Watts, Jackson and Willis, assault with intent to murder for the surviving victim, and multiple firearm offenses. Reports indicated the dispute may have begun after a comment about the suspect’s gym shoes.

Were there witnesses inside the restaurant who can add details about how the confrontation began or who saw what happened?
