A 15-year-old has died after fighting for his life after a shooting in a hotel room in Southfield.
The shooting happened Sunday at the Westin near Northwestern and Evergreen Road.
According to police, five unsupervised teens were inside the hotel room for a birthday party.
At some point, one teen pulled out a gun, and one shot was fired into the victim’s head. He was transported to a nearby hospital and listed in grave condition. The circumstances are currently unknown.
The 15-year-old shooter was arrested at the scene. Police say a Glock 22 with an extended magazine was recovered from the scene. It was reported stolen out of Flint.
Police have identified the adult who rented the room, but as of now, no charges have been filed against that person.
The 15-year-old victim was later identified as Tyler. He was pronounced dead Thursday morning after being hospitalized in grave condition since the shooting.
