DEARBORN HEIGHTS — A 66-year-old man is in police custody after reportedly shooting and killing his 60-year-old neighbor. The incident occurred in the 6000 block of Fairwood on Wednesday, June 3 around 7 p.m.

Dearborn Heights Police say they had received calls from both men previously.  The Michigan State Police is working with the Dearborn Heights Police Department on an investigation into the case.  

A neighbor called 911 after hearing multiple shots fired.

Kat Chaalan, who lives a few blocks away, told CBS News that talk around the neighborhood is that victim and suspect had not been getting along for some time.

“From what I’ve heard, those guys had been at it for a couple years,” Chaalan told WWJ’s Mike Campbell. “…They’d just had enough of each other, maybe. I wouldn’t take it that far as to shoot each other… But if he pushed you far enough, you’re gonna get it.”

Chaalan said that the area is a cultural melting pot, everyone knows one another and it’s typically a peaceful street.

“You know, we don’t have any problems with anybody,” Chaalan said. “You have different cultures, different religions here and we all get along perfectly. We have American, Arabic, Mexican and Italian. And, you know, it’s not about where you come from; it’s about you guys getting along and being nice to each other…and that’s all it’s about. ”

The suspect was arranged at the 20th District Court on Thursday, June 4.
