Second Victim Dies After Shooting at Detroit Lions Tailgate

The shooting occurred after a fight escalated at Eastern Market, leading to increased security measures and event cancellations.

Two men from Detroit, one in his 40s and another in his 20s, were fatally shot after a fight broke out at a tailgating event following the Lions' game against the Buccaneers.
Detroit Police Chief James White emphasized that 'tailgating, drinking, and guns don't mix,' as officers arrested the suspected shooter, a man from Oak Park.
The incident, which took place around 4:30 p.m. at Shed 6 in Eastern Market, has prompted the cancellation of the September 30 Lions tailgate and plans to establish a weapon-free zone.
Authorities are collaborating with local police and city officials to enhance public safety and implement additional security measures at future events.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell and community leaders expressed their condolences and called for better conflict resolution and community support.
