Around 5:30 a.m., police were called to the same home for a fatal shooting. 

Police said it appears the person who shot the woman had the wrong target and came back later.

"It appears the first shooting wasn't the intended victim. They came back around to unfortunately finish what they started," said Lt. Michael Shaw, with Michigan State Police.

Family members said the man killed is named Burnes King. He was shot while standing on the front porch. His family also said his girlfriend is the woman who was shot earlier at the home.

"Inkster police took his (King's) registered gun from him. After they took his gun, the guys came back and shot him in the head," said Kathy Ballard, King's mother. "They took his protection."

Ballard said King is the fourth child she has lost.

Police are trying to determine if the shooting is connected to another shooting that left two people dead Monday night. A group of people was playing basketball in the 27900 block of Rosewood Street when they were ambushed. Four people were shot, and two have died at a hospital.
