DETROIT (WXYZ) – Three teenagers have been charged in connection with the shooting death of Oakland County Sheriff’s Deputy Brad Reckling after a months-long investigation.

A man, Ramon DeBose, 18, of Clinton Township, is charged with actually killing Reckling. He is charged with one count of murdering a peace officer, receiving and concealing stolen property, four counts of carrying a concealed weapon, three counts of felony firearm, one count of carjacking and one charge of conducting a criminal enterprise.

According to the prosecutor’s office, DeBose fired the shots that struck Reckling, and the other two were allegedly in the car and helped him flee the scene and supported him after the alleged shooting.

Reckling was killed in Detroit on the night of June 22 while working undercover following a stolen vehicle.

Worthy said the prosecutor’s office’s public integrity unit worked on the case for months, which led to the charges.

According to Worthy, the three suspects were working as part of a criminal enterprise that dates back to November 2023 and ended the night of the shooting.

That criminal enterprise, according to Worthy, led to at least four carjackings, at least four car thefts, eight gun charges and more.

The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office said Reckling was following a stolen vehicle when one of the suspects got out and opened fire, hitting him multiple times. Reckling, who was not wearing a bulletproof vest, was following the vehicle the three young men were in because it had been stolen from Madison Heights earlier in the day.

Moore was previously charged in connection with the murder, on a charge of lying to a peace officer during a violent crime investigation and on a charge of resisting arrest.

“I’m sure four months was very hard to wait, but we wanted to do it right,” Worthy said during the press conference.
