On a tragic Friday night in Detroit, Michigan, what began as a night out ended in the senseless death of 29-year-old DeAngelo Haggen. The fatal encounter unfolded on November 1, 2019, in the parking lot of Club Celebrity Bar & Grill, located on Plymouth Road near Hubbell on the city's west side. An argument that started inside the establishment is believed to have escalated and spilled out into the parking area, culminating in the shooting that claimed Haggen's life.
Family members indicated that the dispute may have been over a woman.
In the wake of the shooting, the Detroit Police Department launched an investigation. Their efforts led to the arrest of a suspect, identified as 24-year-old Brian Montgomery of Royal Oak. Montgomery was subsequently charged in connection with the death of DeAngelo Haggen. The charges brought against him were second-degree murder and felony firearm, marking a significant development in a case that had left a family grieving and a community searching for answers.
The untimely death of DeAngelo Haggen was a devastating blow to his loved ones. His cousin, Antoinette Simpson, expressed her profound grief and frustration, stating, 'They don't care, they don't care about life. There is no value for life with the young people in Detroit.' She lamented the finality of the violence, emphasizing that this was not a video game and that Haggen would not be coming back to his family.
