Eastpointe – A 31-year-old woman from Livonia, Kimberly Lozano, is facing multiple serious charges, including assault with intent to murder, after firing shots at her friend’s father.

Concerns regarding the escalation of conflict into gun violence have been raised by Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido, emphasizing the dangers posed by firearms in situations of discord.
In a separate shooting incident on Thursday, two individuals are currently in critical condition after police responded to reports of shots fired on Greenbrier Avenue. Officers found a man and a woman suffering from gunshot wounds. Witnesses reported that a third person, who was in a vehicle with the victims, fled the scene and remains unaccounted for. The suspects involved in this shooting escaped in a stolen dark blue Dodge Durango.
Recent crime statistics indicate a slight reduction in aggravated assaults in Eastpointe, dropping from 193 incidents in the previous year to 183 in 2023. However, the community has not been without violent incidents. In January, a suspect disguised as a woman shot a victim over a dispute involving an ex-girlfriend. Additionally, a fatal stabbing occurred at a McDonald’s when an employee was attacked by a co-worker, and a customer fired a shot in an attempt to intervene. The investigation into that incident is ongoing as law enforcement seeks witnesses.
Another critical case in the area involves a Detroit teenager, Lakylia Sheila Taylor, who has been charged with second-degree homicide. This allegation stems from a shooting outside a Footlocker in Eastpointe, which occurred during a confrontation involving her brother. Taylor used an unregistered firearm during the event, resulting in the deaths of two individuals. She was arraigned with a bond set at $2.5 million.
The incidents in Eastpointe reflect ongoing concerns regarding gun violence and the importance of addressing underlying conflict before it escalates into more severe crimes. The community continues to seek safety and resolution amid these challenges.
