Detroit man charged in double shooting in Livonia

A Detroit man accused of fatally shooting two men in Livonia on Sunday has been charged, police said.

Kamari Dushawn Parham, 25, was charged Monday in 16th District Court in Livonia with multiple crimes, including two counts of assault with intent to murder, assault with a dangerous weapon and use of a firearm during the commission of a felony, they said officials.

A judge set his bond at $1 million and scheduled his next court hearing for November 14.

If convicted, he faces life in prison for the assault with intent to commit murder charge.

Court records did not list an attorney for Parham on Tuesday.

Authorities say the suspect is accused of shooting a man in the back at a Livonia bar and another man in the leg at a hotel.

Livonia police were called to the Snooker’s Pool & Pub on Schoolcraft Road near Inkster Road around 1:20 a.m. Sunday for a shooting, investigators said.

Officers arrived and found a 36-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his back near the bar’s main entrance, according to authorities. They immediately provided assistance to the victim.

Police also found the suspected shooter at the bar and arrested him without incident.

Shortly after dispatchers received 911 calls about the shooting, officers were dispatched to the Holiday Inn on Schoolcraft Road, about a half-mile from the bar, for a report of a second shooting victim.

They arrived to find a 31-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the leg, authorities said. Officers provided assistance to the victim.

According to preliminary investigation, the two injured men were fighting at the bar when the suspect pulled out a gun and fired it at them, hitting both of them.

The victim with the wound on his leg left the bar and headed to the hotel where officers found him, they said.

Detectives said both victims are Detroit residents.
