Detroit Man Checks Into Psychiatric Hospital After Shooting His Grandma, Aunt, & Daughter
By Victor Trammell
A wanted Detroit man was located by authorities after checking into a local hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. The man was a prime suspect in a triple shooting on Detroit’s west side.
Fedarius Shine, (pictured) 28, went on a shooting rampage Friday evening that killed his 66-year-old grandmother, his 48-year-old aunt, and left his 7-year-old daughter in critical condition.
According to police, Shine was mumbling perturbed comments inside a home on the 13500 block of Winthorp on the west side of Detroit. Then around 6:45 p.m., Shine went into a rage, brandished a firearm, and began shooting rounds throughout the house. Shine’s mother was also at the house but was not harmed. After the carnage, Shine allegedly exited the house and fled on a bicycle.
Detroit police then embarked on a relentless manhunt for Shine after he was established as a prime suspect in the tragic triple shooting. During the manhunt police raided the home of 27-year-old Monica Stewart. Stewart is the mother Shine’s other child, a 6-year-old son. She said she was unaware of the shooting when police made contact with her. Stewart said the following comments to Detroit Free Press in an interview:
“I don’t know what put him on that rampage like that. All I can say is he acted crazy, but he never acted crazy like that to kill his own loved ones. Something was really going on through his head to make him flip like that.” (Detroit Free Press)
Stewart also said that she took out an order of protection against Shine in the past because of his violent behavior. Shine checked himself into the psychiatric division of a local hospital after the triple shooting. According to police, Shine has a license to carry a concealed weapon.

How did authorities let this looney carry a weapon?
THAT’S THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION!!!
This is not a system failure. Personal Accountability Please. He had clearly acted crazy before, yes; but when does family step in? I just think that folks are always looking for a way to blame the ‘system’.
As a Mental Health advocate i don’t have enough information to make at accurate assesment of this event, however its appears that at a moment of conscience he decide to check into the hospital. Why? Did he realize that he mage a horrible mastake or is trying make you believe that he suffers and order to beat criminal charges.
Depending upon Michigan state law, if the psychiatrist who admitted him to the hospital thought he was dangerous and held him against his will in the hospital, the police may have no way to arrest him until the psychiatrist releases him.
FIrst and by far most my heart and prayer to the victums and their families.
Secondly-Violence is a complex issue and tring topoint to and fix one single issue will not solve these terrifing acts. We as a community must stop looking for quick fixes. Quick fixes point fingers and blame.
Aggressive social science study and research with a multilpe focus/ multiple prong approach will be our only real answer to preventing violence and intervening before the violence happens.
It would be easy (and solved) by now if we had to only manage one factor (ie…guns, povery, alcohol, drugs, jobs, mental illness ect….). But infact each one of these issue also ia a complex multifactoral maladay.
Advocate for real solutions and real answers not just bandaid cover ups for these tragic events—-Speak up, keep talking, donot jump to easy and wishful solutions to complex events—Together we can prevent violence.
IF HE GOES TO PRISON HE MIGHT AS WELL GET HIS DRESS READY. EVEN THO HE CHECKED HIMSELF INTO THE PSYCH WARD THIS WHOLE EVENT WAS PRE-MEDITATED.AS THEY SAY IN THE PSYCHOLOGY CLASSES I’VE TAKEN, WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM WHEN HE WAS LITTLE???? HE DEFINITELY NEEDS JESUS IN HIS LIFE RIGHT NOW.
It’s crazy I grew up with this guy since I was 6 years of age. He lived next door to me for 15 years.. His daughter passed away yesterday and I can’t bare to even go to her funeral, she called me uncle and everything. Very sad for this event and unexpected of fedarius to even do. He’s had mental issues to years I heard, I never hung with him because he is quite older than me.
