DETROIT (WWJ) -- Charges have been filed against the River Rouge man who shot himself in the head during a police pursuit in connection with multiple homicides in metro Detroit.
The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office charged Kenyel William Brown, 40, in connection with a triple shooting in River Rouge on Feb. 2 that left two people dead and another critically injured. Authorities say that incident happened in the 500 block of Beechwood.
Brown has been charged with two counts of first degree premeditated murder, one count of assault with intent to murder, one count of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, one count of felon in possession of a firearm, and five counts of felony firearm.
In addition to the triple shooting case, multiple law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Marshals, had been looking at Brown for at least four other murders, including two in Detroit, one in Highland Park and another in River Rouge.
A manhunt began over the weekend, and it ended Monday shortly after a tip came in from an adult bookstore employee who saw him near the border of Detroit and Oak Park. After a short foot chase, Brown turned the gun on himself and was last listed in critical condition.
The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office has also received warrant requests regarding Brown. A case involving a homicide on Feb. 22 on Minnesota on Detroit's east side is under review, while another case regarding a Feb. 20 shooting at a t-shirt shop on 8 Mile Road in Detroit has been returned to the requesting agency for further investigation.
