According to prosecutors, DeBose fired the shots that hit 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 murdered in Detroit on the night of June 22 while working undercover, tracking a stolen vehicle.

Worthy said the prosecutor’s public integrity unit had worked on the case for months, which resulted in the charges.

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

That criminal enterprise, according to Worthy, resulted in at least four carjackings, at least four carjackings, 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, striking him several times. Reckling, who was not wearing a bulletproof vest, was following the vehicle in which the three young men were traveling because it had been stolen in Madison Heights earlier that day.

Moore has previously been charged in connection with the murder, lying to a law enforcement officer during a violent crime investigation and one count of resisting arrest.

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