Two Teenagers Charged After Shooting at Police

Fox 2 Detroit reports that the two 18 year old men involved in the May 21 shooting in Detroit have been charged.

Deontae Hestle Jr. has multiple charges, including two counts of attempted murder and felony firearm. Robbie Kaigler was driving while Hestle leaned out the rear passenger door and fired 8 rounds at police attempting the traffic stop. Kaigler has been charged as an accessory, and with fleeing and evading.

Police arrested the pair on May 24.

No motive has been identified, but police were attempting a traffic stop for reckless driving. Detroit Police Department Chief, James White, was quoted as saying, “to arrive at that impulsive decision that this is it, this is the tipping point where now I commit murder and end my life and end yours, is absurd”.
