DETROIT – Prosecutor Kym Worthy charged two people with multiple felonies in connection with a shooting and an assault that took place on Detroit’s east side.
The charges stem from an Oct. 15 shooting that killed 51-year-old Phebe Williams. Police believe there was an altercation during a baby shower on Edmore Drive that resulted in Shawanda Woods shooting Williams in the neck.
