A mother-of-three was shot dead by a callous criminal who opened fire after the 27-year-old spurned the man’s advances inside a Detroit bar, the woman’s distraught family says.
Mary “Unique” Spears, 27, was fatally shot in the head early Saturday outside the American Legion Joe Louis Post No. 375 on the city’s east side, while five other family members were wounded by gunfire in the hail of bullets.
“He said, ‘Can I get your name, your number,'” the relative, who asked not to be identified over fear of retribution, told the FOX affiliate. “She said, ‘I have a man, I can’t talk to you.'”
“He shot her one time,” the relative told the station. “And she tried to run. And he shot her two more times in her head.”
Five other family members, including Spears’ fiancee, were injured in the fusillade, though all were expected to survive. The woman had three sons, ages 1, 4 and 8, family said. A family member created a GoFundMe page to raise money for funeral costs. Some $1,500 had been raised by Tuesday afternoon.
