It was meant to be an unforgettable high school prom, but it turned into a night of tragedy when 17-year-old Samantha McCaffrey was fatally shot, allegedly by Douglas Barnes. The heartbreaking incident took place outside Livonia High School, shaking the entire community to its core.
As Samantha exited a limo, Douglas Barnes arrived in his vehicle, wielding an AK-47, and unleashed a barrage of gunfire. Samantha, the daughter of Livonia Police Department Sergeant Mike McCaffrey, succumbed to her wounds, leaving behind a community in shock.
Following the shooting, witnesses recounted how Barnes calmly waited for the police to arrive, uttering chilling words of vengeance: "An Eye For An Eye." The motive behind this heinous act traces back to a tragic event four years prior.
In 2020, Sergeant McCaffrey had fatally shot Gino Barnes, Douglas Barnes' 19-year-old son, during a traffic stop. The altercation stemmed from a road rage incident involving expired tags, during which Gino reached for something in his glove compartment, prompting McCaffrey to open fire.
Authorities swiftly apprehended Barnes after the prom shooting. He faces a litany of charges, including first-degree murder, due to the calculated nature of his actions. Barnes is currently held without bail as legal proceedings unfold, with the community eagerly awaiting justice for Samantha and closure for all affected by this senseless violence.
