Officers also made 19 additional arrests for other offenses, police said.
Twelve of those arrests were made for Carrying a Concealed Weapon — with two being juveniles — and the remaining 7 arrests involved miscellaneous offenses, including resisting and obstructing, aggravated assault, larceny, and disorderly conduct.
The DPD said, in a statement: "The Detroit Police Department remains committed to maintaining public safety during large-scale events and ensuring a safe environment for all attendees and residents."
The 2026 Detroit fireworks curfew in effect from 8 p.m. on June 22 until to 6 a.m. on June 23. During this period, anyone age 17 or under had to be with a parent or guardian.
There was also a police shooting during the event, which remains under investigation.
According to Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison, officers were investigating a teenager who brought a gun to the event in a bookbag when another teen ran, setting off a foot chase.
