Police in Grand Rapids say that seven people were shot and killed at two locations on Thursday and they are actively searching for suspect Rodrick Shonte Dantzler.
Police say three people, reportedly two women and a 10-year-old girl, are dead at one scene, and four others were killed at a separate scene about two miles away, reports CBS affiliate WWMT.
According to a local station, another man was shot in what police believe is a related incident, but was not killed.
The shootings stemmed from a domestic issue, reports The Grand Rapids Press.
Police say they are searching for the 34-year-old Dantzler. Dantzler is described as a black male, about 6-feet-2-inches tall, weighing 265 pounds with a large, muscular build, dreadlocks, and tattoos all over his body.
Dantzler is believed to be driving a cream Lincoln Towncar, Michigan plate BWK-2308.
Dantzler has a criminal record. He pleaded guilty in 2010 to assault and battery and served about a year. In 2000 he entered a guilty plea to assault with bodily harm less than murder and was sentenced to three to ten years.
In 1997 he was given a year of probation for malicious destruction of property, and in 1992 he was charged as a juvenile for breaking and entering.
Police say Dantzler is to be considered armed and dangerous.
Anyone who sees Dantzler is asked to call 911 or their local police department.
That sounds too easy but this guy is definitely far from the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Yeah. If you're house is the closest one to a major highway going to a crap-hole like Detroit, I guess a fence might be an investment to consider.
Exactly. Do I remember a request for a lighter earlier or was it just for smokes?
The white powder he was messing with must have been coke, right? So he’s juiced on that and is off his psych meds..not a very good situation mentally. Now requesting booze- geeeesh.
Negotiators have a hell of a job with someone this volatile and unstable.
Reports officer may be in house, right outside bedroom door...
He drinks too much and croaks from the drugs, it's LE's fault.
He figures out its spiked and starts shooting before he blacks out, it's LE's fault too.
That's not the half of it.
Except this house is 3 hours drive from Detroit.
Whoa. He’s gonna’ be PO’d.
Add some Rompom and Ace to the Crown. If they need dosing instructions, just use that for a 1200 lb horse.
Date rape drug... odorless, tasteless. He’ll be out cold.
yep..also demanding LEO get out of the hallway..
Oh there’s no doubt this guy is toast.
Scanner site “current” is now up >5000 since 2205 est.
Put out perimeter units? I wonder why? What?
I've never heard of those mixers.
There is no mental disorder...it is called demonic possession...something most doctor’s are unable to see or deal with. So they are medicated and when that wears thin, the demons take over with even more strength over their host.
The one I’m monitoring has a “current” of 12700+. I wonder how many other sites there are out there.
LEOs all have PDAs! That’s how they’re communicating “corner 2-3” or “window 2”.
