Residents who live at the apartment complex where the shooting occurred were concerned he would return, and the news of him being in custody is a relief. Police said Fleming lived at that apartment complex.
Whoopi Johnson is the daughter of Bernice Clark, who was killed during the shooting. Johnson is still grieving over the murder of her mother.
"I'm glad they got you. You're gonna have to answer to God," Johnson said. "I'm angry because there's ways he could have went by doing all of this could have been prevented. He was never in that building. They knew how dangerous he was."
Fleming is awaiting extradition back to Michigan. Johnson said she will be there when Fleming is formally charged.
"Wanna be there. I want to look at him. I want him to see the hurt that he cannot fix," she said.
