About a dozen police cars lined up along Livernois as detectives fanned out and a helicopter circled, report George Hunter and Mark Hicks.
In July, rappers Dominique Brown and Ramell Campbell, known as Domo Brown and 47 Mell, respectively, were killed in a drive-by shooting while driving east on Interstate 94 near Livernois. That killing was the result of a feud, police say.
