MT. CLEMENS (WWJ) -- Two men are imprisoned on a $1 million bond for the shooting deaths of two women outside an apartment building in Macomb County.
Police say Dajuan Davenport, 21, and Darryl Banks Jr., 21, hid outside the Knottingham apartment complex in Mount Clemens -- located on Wellington Crescent east of Gratiot Avenue -- on Jan 22, 2021, at 6:30 p.m., waiting to ambush the women.
According to the Macomb Daily, the men fired nearly 40 shots at the women who were unloading their groceries from the car. The victims were 19-year-old Dazhane Holloway and 18-year-old Dionna Davis.
Police have not given a motive for the killings.
Davenport and Banks are charged with first-degree murder, which carries a mandatory sentence of life without parole, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Their jury trial date has been scheduled for Nov. 1 in front of Judge Julie Gatti in Macomb County Circuit Court in Mount Clemens.
After fatally shooting the women, the Macomb Daily reported that the suspects led police on a chase that ended when their vehicle crashed into a pole on Eight Mile Road in Eastpointe. According to Michigan State Police, several firearms were found in the Hellcat Dodge Charger, which had been stolen. Both men were injured and hospitalized.
