The former L’Anse Creuse High School-North student accused of fatally shooting a Detroit teen may soon be facing charges for another homicide, according to a school board member.

The issue came up during Monday’s Board of Education meeting that was attended by numerous parents who were upset Ryan Sinegal was allowed to remain a student at the school for 14 months before he was finally arrested.

Sandra Hernden, a board trustee who also works as a police officer, said after she revealed her concerns over how the administration handled the situation, she was contacted by the mother of another Detroit teenager who allegedly was gunned down by the teen.

Santecia Dobbs thanked Hernden for “bringing awareness to this community and taking action to protect” students, the trustee said. Sinegal wasn’t charged at the time of that incident due to a lack of evidence and witnesses who supposedly were there at the time of the shooting, according to Hernden.

She said a Detroit police detective has since contacted Dobbs to let her know now that Sinegal is in custody, a witness has come forward and is working with police and prosecutors.

Dobbs’ son, 17-year-old son Darriyas, was gunned down April 3, 2023, according to social media accounts.

When asked Tuesday about the alleged second homicide being committed by Sinegal, a spokesperson for the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office forwarded a copy of a news release announcing his arrest for the first fatal shooting but did not address the alleged second one.

Sinegal, 16, of Roseville, is being held in the Wayne County Jail after he was charged in the 2024 fatal shooting of a teen in Detroit, according to the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office.

The teen, who is being tried as an adult, was arraigned in Detroit’s 36th District Court for first-degree murder, two counts of assault with intent to murder, and three counts of felony firearm. He is due back in court Wednesday for a probable cause conference.

According to police and prosecutors, the shooting happened about 1:30 a.m. on Feb. 16, 2024 in the 16000 block of Mack Avenue. Sinegal allegedly fired a handgun at a 17-year-old who was sitting in the driver’s seat of a vehicle, striking him multiple times before fleeing, prosecutors said.

L’Anse Creuse parents were upset after it was discovered Sinegal had been arrested at the school 14 months prior to his latest arrest, but was released as prosecutors sought additional evidence.

The teen suspect was arrested on April 1 and charged on April 2, but parents were not notified until April 8.

Carey Wolschleger, a former football coach at LCN, told the board Sinegal had been removed from the football squad because of anger management issues. He felt it was dangerous to allow the teen to attend classes at L’Anse Creuse North.

“This kid should have never been allowed in this school,” said Wolschleger, a Chesterfield Township resident. “We kicked him off the team because of his anger management issues. How many other kids were threatened by him? Somebody needs to be held accountable, the principal, vice principal, you guys — something needs to happen so this never happens again.”

Several other parents spoke of what they described as the district’s lack of transparency handling the case.

“You send out texts to let me know the bus is late or school has been cancelled,” one woman said. “I should not have been watching the news and my (child) walks into our home and says ‘Hey, did you know there was a murderer in our school.”

Superintendent Keith Howell read an eight-paragraph response to the allegations the administration withheld information from parents and taxpayers.

Howell said when Detroit police first came to the school to question Sinegal in 2024, the staff wasn’t told details of the investigation. The student was released without being charged, so without knowing the specifics of the case, the district allowed him to return to classes.

Since the student was arrested earlier this month, Howell said he has taken several immediate steps to review how the matter was handled, including Sinegal’s initial enrollment at LCN via schools of choice.

“I’m working closely with our Board of Education, our legal team and district leaders to understand every step that was taken to ensure all school policies and procedures were followed,” Howell said.

In addition, he added the administration is working on a district-wide safety audit for families, staff and students. The survey will be implemented later this month, he said.

Also at Monday’s board meeting, several teachers — many wearing L’Anse Creuse High School-North jerseys or T-shirts — spoke about the quality of students attending school the Macomb Township schools and their opinions of safety there despite the arrest.

“We have great kids there,” said Michael Lynch, who has been a teacher at LCN for 28 years. “They are just getting lost in what I think is political grandstanding trying to make a point at the expense of students. People come to L’Anse Creuse North and tell us stories that ‘Wow, I can’t believe what kind of kids you have here.’”

The school board went into closed session to hear additional details about the Sinegal case at the end of Monday’s meeting.
