Glenn Doss, the Detroit police officer shot in the head while responding to a domestic violence call Wednesday night, died Sunday afternoon, the Detroit Free Press reports. He was 25.

"As you now know, our officer just passed 45 minutes ago," Detroit Police Chief James Craig said outside Detroit Receiving Hospital. "He fought a good fight. He is truly what we call one of Detroit's finest.

"He is what we call an American hero. He did what we expect each and every officer to do: Go out and serve this community with distinction and honor."

Mayor Mike Duggan also was at the hospital. 

Doss, the father of a 9-month-old son, joined the force two years ago. He was answering a call in  the 5500 block of McDougall Street near East Kirby when he was shot.

Decharlos Brooks, 43, is accused of assault with intent to murder and was arraigned Saturday.
