The shooting, which triggered a ShotSpotter alert, happened on the city's east side around midnight.

Detroit police say the lone survivor was able to run to the responding officers for help last night at Coram Avenue and Rex. They say he directed them to the second victim, a man who was shot and killed on the front porch of a home.

The surviving victim is now in critical condition. Police are still searching for the suspect, but they believe everyone involved knew each other.
