DETROIT (WWJ) – A Detroit man is facing several charges for a shooting at a fire station that left one man dead and another injured.
James Andrew Brown, 29, has been arraigned on one count of first-degree murder and one count of assault with intent to murder for the shooting of 25-year-old Jason Cowin and a 47-year-old Detroit man.
Detroit police were called to a fire station in the 6320 block of West Chicago Street, near Livernois and Grand River shortly before 9 p.m. Monday, where they found Cowins being treated by medics.
Cowins was taken to a hospital, where he died of his injuries.
Authorities allege Brown pulled out two handguns and opened fire into a vehicle that Cowins and the other man were sitting in.
