SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (WXYZ) — Southfield police say they have arrested a suspect in a shooting at an apartment complex that killed a person on Sunday morning.

It happened at the complex on Shiawassee Rd. near 8 Mile around 10 a.m.

Residents who live in the Riverstone Apartments are still trying to wrap their heads around the shooting that happened on SUnday morning.

“I peaked out the window and it was at least six of those real big police cars and they had the tape up," Constance McQueen told us.

“This is not something that’s ever happened here where everyone I talked to int he neighborhood has always felt safe," Brock Stieb said.

Police responded to the complex for reports of an unresponsive person in the parking lot. They discovered the victim had a fatal gunshot wound to the head.

“We did not hear any gunshots, if someone didn’t tell me that they’d been shot and heard gunshots, I would not have known," Stieb said.

Stieb was one of the residents who saw the body in the parking lot.

“Everyone here is pretty shaken up about it," he said.

Police say the victim and suspect knew each other, and there isn't any additional threat to the public.
