After a shooting on its grounds that resulted in two deaths, Detroit’s Eastern Market has canceled its tailgate event scheduled for Sept. 30. The event was set to coincide with the Lions’ final game before their bye week, a Monday Night Football showdown with the Seahawks.

Eastern Market announced the cancellation Tuesday afternoon via social media:

“In the wake of Sunday’s tragedy at Shed 6, we have engaged in thorough consultation with stakeholders including public safety officials, city representatives, our small business community, our staff and our neighbors.

Out of respect for the victims and their families, we have decided to cancel our tailgating event on Monday, September 30th. We will use the time to work with DPD toward putting necessary safeguards in place.

In addition, we are working toward establishing the Eastern Market campus as a “weapon free zone” going forward. Following the pause on September 30th, we intend to resume the tailgating tradition for the remainder of the season after enacting additional and significant security protocols that will be communicated to the public in advance.”

The victims, both from Detroit and in their 20s and 40s respectively, were shot near Wilkins Street and Riopelle Street at approximately 4:30 p.m. after the Lions’ loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The man in his 40s was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other died from his injuries on Monday.

“I don’t know all the details. I heard and that’s tragic,” Lions head coach Dan Campbell told reporters Monday when asked about the shooting. “I don’t know all the details to it, but anytime that somebody loses their life, that’s a tragic thing. I just – whoever that is has a family and I’m thinking about them, and prayers go out to them, their family, their friends, and it’s unfortunate. It is.

“But there again, I don’t know all the details to it, I wasn’t there. Just, as much as we can take care of each other, let’s do that. That’s all I would say.”

An Oak Park man in his 30s has been arrested in connection with the shooting, Detroit Police Chief James White said Sunday.

According to information given to White, a large fight had broken out inside Shed 6 at the market. A few minutes after it dispersed, the shooter and the man who died on Monday confronted each other with their hands raised as if preparing to fight. The Oak Park man allegedly pulled out a gun and shot at least twice, White said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-Speak-Up or Detroit Police Homicide at 313-596-2260.
