Dewaun Deshawn Robinson Arrested in Connection to Muskegon Mass Shooting
MUSKEGON, Mich. — Authorities continue to investigate the mass shooting in Muskegon that left two people dead and three others injured, including a young child. As information circulates on social media, police have emphasized that no suspect identities have been officially confirmed.
An image being widely shared online appears to show a Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS record for an individual identified as Dewaun Deshawn Robinson, 25, who has a documented history of home invasions.
While investigators have acknowledged that they have a person of interest in custody, they have not released any names or confirmed any connection between this individual and the Jackson Hill mass shooting.
Sources familiar with the investigation, along with internal reporting, suggest that a person hospitalized with gunshot wounds following the incident may be linked to the record circulating online.
However, no charges have been filed, and this information does not confirm involvement. Authorities stress that this remains an active and evolving investigation, and verified updates will be provided as they become available.
Police are continuing their search for the gunman responsible for a deadly shooting inside a Muskegon residence Saturday afternoon that resulted in multiple casualties.
The Muskegon Police Department identified the two deceased victims as:
- Joshua Fondren Jr., 25
- Cori Marie May Watts, 22
The shooting took place around 3:15 p.m. inside a home near Jackson Avenue and McLaren Street after officers responded to numerous 911 calls reporting gunfire.
Upon arrival, officers found several victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Fondren was pronounced dead at the scene. Cori May and two additional 25-year-old men were transported to a nearby hospital.
May later died from her injuries, while both men remain in critical condition.
A 4-year-old child was also shot during the incident. Police reported that the child sustained minor injuries and is expected to be released from the hospital.
Muskegon Police Chief Tim Kozal confirmed that the suspect fled the residence before officers arrived.
As of the most recent update, no arrests have been made.
Kozal stated that the shooting does not appear to be random, and investigators do not believe there is an immediate threat to the general public.
In the wake of several violent incidents this week, Muskegon Mayor Ken Johnson issued a statement addressing the impact on the community. He referenced both the apparent homicide of Thomas “Tommy” Stewart earlier in the week and Saturday’s mass shooting.
“Our community has been shaken by tragedies this week,” Johnson said, urging residents to support one another and assist law enforcement with information that may aid the investigation. He also extended condolences to the victims and expressed gratitude to first responders and medical teams.
“May our community come together in care for one another, as we navigate these traumatic events, and in pursuit of justice,” the mayor stated.
Anyone with information related to the shooting is encouraged to contact:

The investigation remains active and ongoing, and additional details will be released as they are confirmed.

16-year-old Khyon Smith-Tate found shot to death inside Chipotle bathroom on edge of Temple University’s campus in North Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA — A 16-year-old boy was fatally shot inside the bathroom of a Chipotle restaurant near Temple University’s campus in North Philadelphia on Monday afternoon, police said, as students and staff returned for the first day of the Spring 2026 semester.
The shooting occurred at approximately 5:00 p.m. inside the Chipotle located in the 1100 block of West Montgomery Avenue, on the ground floor of The View at Montgomery apartment complex. The building is situated near Temple University’s Student Center and TECH Center.
Police later identified the victim as Khyon Smith-Tate, a North Philadelphia resident. Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said Smith-Tate was found with a gunshot wound to the chest and was pronounced dead at 5:24 p.m.
Temple University President John Fry and Vice President for Public Safety and Chief of Police Jennifer Griffin issued a joint statement following the incident:
“The loss of life to gun violence is a profound tragedy, and there are no words that can make sense of it. Our thoughts are with the victim’s family and loved ones.”
According to investigators, Smith-Tate and another minor entered the restaurant and requested access to the restroom. Chief Inspector Small said the shooting is believed to have occurred inside the bathroom.
Moments later, employees discovered Smith-Tate suffering from a gunshot wound. Police recovered one spent shell casing from a semiautomatic weapon inside the restroom.
Although the victim’s last known address was approximately eight blocks from the scene, authorities have not indicated what brought him to the location or what led to the shooting.
At the time of the incident, the restaurant was crowded, and multiple individuals inside the business were detained briefly for questioning. However, police said they have not yet obtained any statements from witnesses who reported hearing a gunshot.
A person of interest was taken into custody several blocks from the scene shortly after the shooting, but Chief Inspector Small said that individual’s involvement remains unclear.
As of Tuesday, police confirmed that no arrests have been made and no motive has been established.
Investigators believe Smith-Tate entered the restroom with another minor, though the whereabouts of that individual remain unknown.
Police are also seeking information about three possible suspects, described as teenagers carrying backpacks.
Chief Inspector Small noted that the area is equipped with numerous surveillance cameras, which detectives are reviewing as part of the ongoing investigation.
Authorities are asking anyone with information related to the incident to contact the Philadelphia Police Department.
