Warren police say Anthony Mangiapane stood across the street on Schoenherr and pointed a green laser at the victim's chest. Then, while standing in a doorway wielding the rifle, said "N***** you better get moving!" before firing three shots.

A witness who was on the phone with the victim at the time heard the gunshots, police said. It happened around 11:30 p.m. Monday at Eight Mile Road and Schoenherr.

The incident escalated after police responded to the residence and Mangiapane barricaded himself inside the business. He later surrendered.

While investigating the location, police also found a cache of weapons as well as an M203 grenade shell in a safe. It was sent to Lansing for analysis. They also found:
