DETROIT (WXYZ) — A Taylor man has been charged for allegedly shooting and killing two women and injuring another man earlier this month.

The incident happened on Sunday, May 5, around 2 p.m. First responders were called to a home in 3800 block of 33rd Street. There, May Hernandez, 28, and Hollie Stoops, 41, were found with gunshot wounds. Investigators say both women were dead at the scene.

A 33-year-old Taylor man was also shot in the face and leg, and was hospitalized for his injuries, the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office says.

According to the prosecutor's office, this stemmed from an altercation between Gabriel Kieshaun-Dajuan Toler, 36, of Taylor, and Hernandez. Toler then reportedly fired a handgun multiple times before leaving the scene. He was arrested nine days later.

Toler has been charged with two counts of First-Degree Murder, one count of Assault with Intent to Murder, one count of Felon in Possession of a Firearm, and four counts of Felony Firearm.

Toler was arraigned in 36th District Court and returned back to jail this morning.
