Three charged in deadly shooting of 18-year-old in Clawson
Three people have been charged in the fatal shooting of an 18-year-old in Clawson last week.
The shooting happened around 10:30 p.m. on May 22 at a residence in the area of 14 Mile Road and Renshaw Avenue. When police arrived at the home, they found an 18-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound.
The man was taken to an area hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. Authorities have not identified the victim.
Tylaj Clark-Spencer, 21, of Howell, is charged with manslaughter, receiving and concealing a stolen firearm and two counts of felony firearms. Joshua Peel, 20, of Royal Oak, and a 17-year-old, are both charged with accessory after the fact/manslaughter.
Oakland County prosecutors say Clark-Spencer, Peel, the victim and another person were leaving a Clawson apartment to go to a party when Clark-Spencer checked a gun he was allegedly carrying to see if it was loaded. The gun then went off, striking and killing the victim.
Prosecutors allege that the 17-year-old hid the gun and other evidence for Clark-Spencer after he left the scene with Peel. Authorities believe the gun was stolen from a safe that belongs to the 17-year-old's father.
"The shooter should never have had that gun, and he and those who assisted him after the shooting will be held accountable for this tragedy," said Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald in a statement. "Gun violence is preventable. This case is a terrible reminder of how quickly a situation can turn deadly when the wrong person gets a gun."

Terry Moran out at ABC News following X post attacking Trump, Stephen Miller
ABC News correspondent Terry Moran is leaving the network after he took aim at President Donald Trump and top White House aide Stephen Miller in a now-deleted post on X. "We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post – which was a clear violation of ABC News policies – we have made the decision to not renew," a spokesperson for ABC News confirmed to Fox News Digital. "At ABC News, we hold all of our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity, fairness and professionalism, and we remain committed to delivering straightforward, trusted journalism," the spokesperson added. Moran found himself in hot water both inside and outside the Disney-owned network when he called Trump and Miller "world-class" haters early Sunday morning. Moran, who's been with the network since 1997, was initially suspended after ABC News honchos woke up to the viral backlash.
