DETROIT, MI -- Police made two arrests related to separate shootings, one fatal, in the area of Detroit's Greektown.

The use of surveillance cameras from private businesses were instrumental in each arrest.

The first shooting involved an 18-year-old woman shot multiple times while parking with friends in Detroit about 11:30 June 20. She survived.

The victim told police she saw people running, heard a loud noise and realized she'd been shot.

Police arrested the suspected shooter during the execution of a Raid about 4:30 p.m. Monday.

The second Greektown shooting occurred about 11:45 p.m. June 21. Two 19-year-old men were struck by gunfire. One survived the other died. Police tracked the suspect in that shooting to Westland, where they arrested the 22-yea-old man after a short foot chase.

Both cases are under review by Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy's Office for criminal charges.

"We appreciate the community stepping up and helping our investigators identify these shooters," Detroit Police Chief James Craig said in a prepared statement. "The collaboration we see between business owners who have installed video cameras, the community at large who calls with tips, along with the hard work of police investigators, help bring these criminals to justice.

"It doesn't matter what neighborhood a crime occurs in, when our partners all step up, we all benefit with a city that is safer for everyone."

Detroit police have complained about a lack of community cooperation related two three separate shootings at neighborhood gatherings in recent weeks, one at Webb and Dexter in Detroit June 20 that resulted in one death and 11 injuries; the second at block party near Chandler Park resulting in four shooting victims; and the third during a party at a car wash Sunday that resulted in five injured.

Police haven't announced arrests or suspects in those cases.

Between Friday and Monday, Detroit police said there were 20 nonfatal shootings at 17 different crime scenes.

Despite the recent surge -- Detroit police say shootings are currently up about 9 percent -- overall crime continues to trend down. Part 1 crimes, those property and violent crimes tracked by the FBI, are down 13 percent this year compared to last, Craig says.
