Farmington Hills workplace shooting victim ‘doing well’, preliminary exam set for alleged shooter – The Oakland Press

A preliminary exam is scheduled for a man facing a felony charge in a workplace shooting in Farmington Hills last month.

Da Shawn Marquese Taylor, 21, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for the Oct. 15 attack in the parking lot of Specialty Steel Treating Inc. The company is located on Eight Mile Road near Orchard Lake Road.

The victim was shot in the leg and was taken to a hospital in critical condition but is “recovering well,” Police Chief Jeff King told The Oakland Press on Nov. 14.

Taylor called 911 to report the incident, police said.

According to King, the case stemmed from an ongoing disagreement between Taylor and the victim, who were business colleagues. “It was two guys who didn’t get along that escalated into a physical attack and then a shooting,” King said.

Taylor’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for Dec. 4 in 47th District Court, where Judge James Brady will be presented with evidence and determine whether probable cause exists for the case to proceed to Oakland County Circuit Court for a possible trial. Taylor is out of custody on a $10,000 personal bond, which does not require cash or surety to be posted.

If convicted, Taylor faces up to four years in prison.
