The Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office has charged a Taylor man in connection with the fatal shooting of two women, and the non-fatal shooting of a man.
Prosecutor Kym Worthy has charged Gabriel Kieshaun-Dajuan Toler, 36, of Taylor, in connection with the deaths of Hollie Stoops, a 41-year-old woman from Lincoln Park; and May Hernandez, a 28-year-old woman from Monroe.
‘A 33-year-old man from Taylor survived the shooting.
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.
He was arraigned and remanded to jail Friday morning in 36th District Court.
The probable cause conference is scheduled for 8:30 am on May 28.
A preliminary examination of the evidence against him is scheduled for 1:45 pm on June 3 before Judge Kenneth King.
The charges stem from an incident that occurred on May 5, just before 2 pm
Detroit police officers were called to a residence in the 3800 block of 33rd Street for a reported triple shooting.
Upon their arrival, officers located Hernandez inside the house with a gunshot wound to the head, and Stoops, with a gunshot wound to the head and back.
Both were already deceased.
The 33-year-old victim suffered gunshot wounds to the face and leg.
Medics arrived on the scene and transported the surviving victim to a local hospital for treatment.
It is alleged that an altercation between Toler and Hernandez escalated, and he produced and fired a handgun multiple times, non-fatally wounding the 33-year-old victim, and fatally injuring Hernandez and Stoops.
He then allegedly fled the area.
An investigation by the Detroit Police Department led to Toler’s arrest nine days after the shooting.
