Man killed in shooting on Detroit's east side

Family members identify victim as 28-year-old Antonio Brown

DETROIT – A 28-year-old man was killed early Monday morning in a shooting on Detroit's east side.

Family members identified the victim to Local 4 as Antonio Brown, saying he was shot outside of his sister's home around 2:30 a.m. in the 11400 block of Somerset.

"He worked hard, two jobs. He was the caretaker of his family. He was the firstborn boy in his family," said Brown's aunt, Lanea Love. "Anything that any one of us needed, he did that."

Sources said an argument broke out between Brown, another man and the two mothers of Brown's children.

Police marked off 19 shell casings on the scene.

Police haven't said if any arrests have been made.
