(WWJ) A 27-year-old man has been charged with premediated murder for shooting and killing another man after an argument at a Detroit casino.
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy on Wednesday announced the case against Nicholas White of Detroit, accused in the death of 25-year-old Kermit McCants of Clinton Township over the weekend.
Detroit Police responded to shots fired on the second level of the Motor City Casino parking structure, shortly before 2 a.m. on Sunday.
Upon arrival, the officers found McCants suffering from apparent multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken by EMS to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.
It is alleged, according to prosecutors, that that a verbal argument between the two men escalated, and that White pulled a gun and shot McCants.
White then fled from the scene in his car, but was arrested on Monday following an investigation by Detroit Police.
