A Redford, Michigan, man accused of firing shots outside of a Ferndale nightclub last month has been charged.
Coreyontai Deshawn Rmon Hammonds, 29, is charged with one count of assault with intent to murder and three counts of felony firearm, according to the Ferndale Police Department. Hammonds was arraigned on Friday and received a $500,000 cash bond.
Ferndale police say that at about 12:30 a.m. on April 13, 2025, officers patrolling the downtown area heard gunshots coming from Nine Mile Road and West Troy Street.

Officers located a 29-year-old Warren man near the Orchid Theatre nightclub with a gunshot wound to the groin area, according to a news release. The victim was taken to the hospital and has since been released.
An investigation revealed that the victim was standing outside the club when a car pulled up, and the victim walked toward the vehicle. Police believe the shooting happened after an exchange between the victim and someone inside the vehicle.
Hammonds was taken into custody on Friday. The investigation revealed that the shooting was a targeted incident, and the victim and suspect knew each other, police say.
"This highlights how swift action, advanced technology, and strong partnerships can lead to the apprehension of dangerous individuals," said Ferndale Police Chief Dennis Emmi. "Our officers responded immediately, provided critical support to the victim, and worked diligently to identify and arrest the suspect. Ensuring the safety of our community continues to be our top priority."
Hammonds's next hearing is scheduled for June 2.

Trump Officials Deported Another Man Despite Court Order
The Trump administration deported a 31-year-old Salvadoran man minutes after a federal appeals court barred his removal while his case proceeded, the government admitted in a court filing this week. In its filing, the government denied that it had violated the order from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, in New York, instead blaming 'a confluence of administrative errors.' The filing argues that because the process of deporting the man, Jordin Melgar-Salmeron, had already started before the court issued its formal order, at 9:52 a.m. May 7, that meant the order had not been violated. The plane carrying Mr. Melgar-Salmeron to El Salvador did not take off from Alexandria, La., until 10:20 a.m. Eastern time, according to the government's timeline. The government had also previously given the court what the judges called 'express assurance' that it would not schedule a deportation for him until the next day. The deportation deepened the questions surrounding the Trump administration's legal tactics and administrative errors as it has sought to carry out the president's aggressive vision of deporting as many as one million immigrants during his first year in office. In at least three other deportation cases, federal judges have determined that Trump officials expelled people from the country in violation of standing court orders. In an interview, one of Mr. Melgar-Salmeron's lawyers disputed the government's characterization of the deportation as a mistake, saying it appeared to be part of a larger pattern of the administration ignoring court orders. 'It would be an absurd level of mistake,' said Matthew Borowski, the lawyer, comparing it to a chef pouring in pepper instead of salt. 'Verifying the paperwork and putting the right people on the plane is their job.' The questions raised by the court over the deportation were reported earlier by Investigative Post, a nonprofit news outlet in Western New York. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
