On Monday, June 23, minutes before the firework display started, a fight escalated to gunshots in the area of Larned and Randolph. Detroit police say 19-year-old Romulus man Alphonso Cooper Jr. got into an altercation over a debt of $200 with another man when he allegedly pulled out a gun and fired two shots. Officials say Cooper's target, a 17-year-old from Romulus, was shot while an uninvolved 22-year-old woman in the crowd was also hit. Both suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
