Flint logs its second homicide of 2008. Ron Fonger of The Flint Journal reports:

A 19-year-old Flint man became the city's second homicide victim of the year after he was gunned down during a large house party on Lawndale Avenue, not far from Haskell Community Center.

Lonnie Rushin Jr. was dead on arrival at Hurley Medical Center after the 2:15 a.m. Saturday shooting, according to a Flint Police Department news release.

Police said they found Rushin unresponsive with a gunshot wound after responding to shots fired in the area, but released no other details of the shooting.

The department is asking anyone with information about the homicide to contact Sgt. Mike Angus at (810) 237-6920, (810) 237-6800 or (800) 422-JAIL.

Thanks for commenting. I moderate comments, so it may take a while for your comment to appear. You might enjoy my book about Flint called "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City," a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 and a finalist for the 33rd Annual Northern California Book Award for Creative NonFiction. Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.
