Charges amended for suspect in double shooting

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — The charges leveled against a Clinton Township man in connection to the shooting of his mother and brother on July 5 have been amended.

Corey Deyshaun Cook, 24, allegedly shot his 27-year-old brother, Arkollin Dleon Cook, and his 49-year-old mother, Yolanda Cook, according to a press release from the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office. Yolanda Cook died at the scene. Arkollin Dleon Cook was on life support following the shooting. He died at a local hospital on July 13, according to the Macomb County Medical Examiner’s Office.

The release states that Corey Deyshaun Cook went to the Clinton Township Police Department to report the shooting the same day. He was detained and officers reportedly found his mother and brother when performing a welfare check.

Following Arkollin’s Delon Cook’s death, Corey Deyshaun Cook’s charges were updated. He now faces two counts of first-degree premeditated murder, felonies punishable by a mandatory life sentence in Michigan. He also faces felony weapons charges.

Corey Deyshaun Cook is currently in the Macomb County Jail on a $1 million bond. A competency hearing is scheduled for Oct. 22 before District Court Judge Carrie Fuca in 41B District Court in Clinton Township.

“The charges were amended to take into consideration the death of his brother,” Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido said in the press release. “Our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to the family and loved ones affected by this tragedy.”

At press time, Cook’s attorney, Robbie D. Lang, said he had no comment about the case.
