Prosecutor D.J. Hilson announced Monday that Dewuan Deshawn Robinson and Tavin Rodney Irvin each face 16 felony charges in the December 6 shooting inside a home on Jackson Avenue. Among the charges is open murder, according to Hilson.
"Our goal, moving forward, will be to make sure that neither one of these individuals see the light of day again," Hilson said. "This was a pretty horrific and tragic event. There were a lot of people inside the house at the time. There was a lot going on, and so we felt it appropriate that we account for, or we hold these two individuals accountable for all those actions."

The two 25-year-olds allegedly tried to rob people in the home before opening fire. Multiple people, including two children, were inside at the time.
"Our true theory is that this is a first-degree murder case, and that's sort of the mindset we have moving forward," Hilson said.
Two people were killed: 25-year-old Joshua Fondren Jr. and 22 year-year-old Cori Marie May Watts.

Along with the four victims, Robinson was hit by gunfire and was originally counted as a victim by investigators. Irvin escaped the scene, but was tracked down in the Detroit area about two weeks later.
"Once we had him in custody, we were pretty confident that we had everybody who was involved in this particular incident," Hilson said.
Both men were out on parole at the time of the shooting. Each had served time for multiple felony convictions, including home invasion and armed robbery, according to the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC).
The MDOC held both suspects on parole violations while Hilson's office put together the list of charges tied to this shooting.
"Our role right now is to make sure that we do everything in our power to hold these two men accountable for what happened, and that's what we're going to do," Hilson said.
An arraignment hearing for Robinson and Irvin was not set as of Monday. That will be scheduled with MDOC, said Hilson.
