Everett is accused of being involved in the Oct. 16 shooting on Mogul Street that took the life of Amiracle Williams. Amiracle was caught in the crossfire of gunfire when it erupted outside her family's home.

Amiracle's 47-year-old father, Demetrius Williams, 40-year-old mother, Frieda Tiggs, and 17-year-old pregnant sister, Tkira Steen, were also hit by gunfire.

Detroit Police Chief James Craig said the shooting stemmed from fight between Tkira Steen and another female. It became physical in front of the family's home and Demetrius Williams, armed with a gun, saw the fight and tried to stop it.

Craig said it's unclear who fired the first shot, but that a suspect man who showed up at the home opened fire on Amiracle and her parents with a TEC-9 semi-automatic handgun.

Craig said the suspect and his getaway driver, who was shot, both are in custody. He said the shooter was wanted on an out-of-state warrant.

Worthy didn't clarify Everett's role in the shooting.
