A preliminary exam is scheduled for the case against a Detroit teenager facing multiple felony charges in connection with a mass shooting at a block party that left two dead and 19 wounded — including two from Oakland County.

Demitrus Tiwan Shaw, 19, is held in the Wayne County Jail with bond set at $1 million for the shooting last July 7 on Detroit’s east side.

At the exam, to be held on April 8 in 37th District Court in Detroit, the prosecution will present evidence with the goal of establishing probable cause so the judge will advance the case to Wayne County Circuit Court for possible trial. The prosecutor’s office is also seeking a bindover for additional charges against Shaw for a shooting that happened weeks earlier in the same area.

In the July shooting, Shaw allegedly killed Shanae Fletcher, 20, of Harrison Township and Phillip Arnold, 21, of Detroit. The other victims include a Southfield woman and an Oak Park woman, two then-17-year-olds from Clinton Township, nine Detroiters ranging in age from 16 to 22 at the time, three young adults from Highland Park, two Eastpointe teenagers, and a Chesterfield Township woman.Shaw was charged early last month. Investigators tied him to the incident after he was identified as a suspect in a nonfatal shooting that happened last May in the same neighborhood as the block party, according to the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office.

Shaw was arrested after nearly a dozen search warrants were executed in three communities, officials said.

The preliminary exam will be held before District Judge Shawn Jacque.
