Gregory Karlos Samuel Fortner Wiki – Gregory Karlos Samuel Fortner Biography

A victim of a triple shooting Saturday at a Detroit gas station says the gunman warned an employee during a dispute that he would shoot all customers in the store before opening fire. David Langston says he pleaded “don’t shoot” the gunman, who police say was angry over a dispute with the clerk over $3. He said his best friend, Gregory Karlos Samuel Fortner-Kelly, also begged the gas station attendant to open the locked doors of the business and let them out before they were shot.

The doors remained locked and the gunman fired at customers inside, Langston told Free. Press reporter Jasmin Barmore, who is a friend of the victims. Langston, Fortner-Kelly and another customer were shot. Fortner-Kelly, 37, was killed.

Detroit police and the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office would not confirm or deny the details Langston provided to the Free Press as of Tuesday night. Efforts to reach the owners of the Mobil gas station on West McNichols Road near the Lodge Freeway were unsuccessful. Wayne County District Attorney Kym Worthy planned to address the case at a news conference Wednesday morning. Detroit police arrested a 27-year-old man suspected of the shooting Sunday.

Police said Monday the gas station was not licensed and was closed by the Detroit Department of Buildings, Safety Engineering and Environment amid the investigation into the shooting. Fortner-Kelly’s loved ones are distraught and angry about the death. He was a father of three. His youngest daughter, 12, is about to graduate from high school. Before he was killed, Langston said it was Fortner-Kelly who tried to protect everyone from being shot.
