Sterling Heights, Michigan – Domestic Shooting Incident Leads to Arrest
A 37-year-old man from Detroit, Deshawn Flood, has been arrested following a domestic shooting incident at Michigan Rehab Services – Pomeroy Living Facility in Sterling Heights on July 29, 2025. Flood is facing multiple felony charges, including two counts of assault with intent to murder, after allegedly attacking his wife during her work hours.
According to police reports, Flood waited for his wife to arrive at her job before approaching her and attempting to retrieve a gun from his waistband. In an attempt to escape, the victim sought refuge in a co-worker’s vehicle; however, Flood allegedly obstructed the door from closing. During the confrontation, Flood fired multiple shots at his wife.
The situation escalated as his wife and her co-worker fled on foot towards the building. Reports indicate that Flood caught up with his wife and physically assaulted her by pistol-whipping her several times before law enforcement arrived on the scene. Officers responded swiftly to the initial 911 call made around 8 a.m., which reported shots fired in the parking lot.
The victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was subsequently transported to a local hospital for treatment. The co-worker who assisted her was unharmed during the ordeal. Flood was taken into custody by law enforcement without further incident.
Flood is currently facing serious charges, which include one count of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and three counts of felony firearm. If convicted of the assault with intent to murder charges, he could potentially face a life sentence in prison. He was arraigned in the 41A District Court on July 31, 2025, with a bond set at $1,000,000 cash/surety.
Conditions of Release
Should Flood be released on bond, he will be required to wear a GPS tether and is prohibited from contacting the victims involved in the case. A probable cause conference is scheduled for August 7, 2025, followed by a preliminary examination on August 14, 2025.
