HEIGHTS — Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy charged Ashante Linelli-Ramon McAfee, 48, of Detroit, in connection with the non-fatal shooting of a 39-year-old woman, of Dearborn Heights, and a 41-year-old man, of Ecorse.
The defendant is the ex-boyfriend of the 39-year-old victim.
McAfee has been charged with two counts of assault with intent to murder, two counts of felonious assault, discharge in or at a building causing serious injury, first-degree home invasion, felon in possession of a firearm, domestic violence, and seven counts of felony firearm.
He was arraigned this afternoon in 20th District Court before Judge Mark Plawecki and received a $500,000 cash/surety bond with a GPS tether. A probable cause conference is scheduled for 9 a.m. May 28 before Judge David Turfe.
About 10:32 a.m. May 18, police officers were dispatched to a residence in the 4100 block of Weddel Street for a reported shooting.
Upon their arrival, officers located the male victim down the street from the residence suffering from a gunshot wound to the kneecap, and the female victim inside the bedroom of the home suffering from gunshot wounds to the right thigh, left knee, left chest, and right hand. Medics arrived on the scene and transported the victims to a local hospital for treatment.
It is alleged that McAfee entered the woman’s home before producing and firing a rifle and a handgun, non-fatally wounding the victims, before fleeing.
Investigation by the Police Department led to McAfee’s arrest later the same day.
The charges are allegations and defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
