The suspect, John Edward-Dayter Montgomery, was expected to be arraigned Friday on two counts of first-degree murder, the Wayne County prosecutor’s office said.
Raymondo Bankhead, 60, and James Deberry, 57, were shot Tuesday morning following an argument that started inside the business between Deberry and the suspect.
An employee told the two men to leave the store. The suspect and Deberry struck each other with metal bars before Deberry was shot, according to the prosecutor’s office.
Bankhead was not involved in the fight and also was shot. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Deberry later died at a hospital.
