Two Charged With Attempted Murder In Trenton Shooting

Two Downriver residents were charged Thursday with attempted murder in the Nov. 18 shooting of a 31-year-old Trenton man, and a third suspect remains at large, a newspaper reported today.

Berquette Ali Wahla and Pasty Carol Gregg of Flat Rock were arraigned in 33rd District Court in Woodhaven before Judge Michael McNally, The News-Herald said.

The incident occurred about 12:30 a.m. at an apartment complex in the 3600 block of Van Horn Road. The victim was reportedly taking out the trash when two men and a woman approached him; beat him to the ground, and then shot in his left arm. Police told the newspaper the man was released from the hospital and was recovering at home. 

Wahla, 23, was charged with six counts, including assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder and possession of a firearm by a felon and habitual offender third offense.

Gregg, 50, was charged with five counts, including assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, aggravated assault and assault or assault and battery.

The two were arrested after the Downriver Mutual Aid S.W.A.T. Team raided a unit at the Walnut Creek Apartments in Flat Rock. The third suspect is described as a white male, about 6 feet tall with dirty blond hair, the paper said.

A preliminary exam is scheduled for Dec. 3.
