FLINT, MI – Police have identified the two teenage boys killed in a shooting on Monday night in Flint.

Mason Lee Pritt, 16, and Dwayne Thompson, Jr., 17, were the boys shot around 11:40 p.m. Monday, Aug. 10, at James P. Cole Boulevard and Stewart Avenue, Michigan State Police Spl/Lt. Kim Vetter confirmed with MLive-The Flint Journal.

Pritt was pronounced deceased at the scene, while Thompson Jr. was taken to the hospital in critical condition but later succumbed to his injuries.

A suspect has not been arrested at this point, but Flint Police Chief Terence Green said he’s confident detectives will soon make an arrest.

The investigations are being led by the Flint Major Case Unit, a multi-agency task force comprised of Flint and Michigan State Police detectives that handles many of the city’s most serious violent crimes.

“Together, detectives from each agency work together to investigate violent crime in the city of Flint,” Vetter wrote in a statement. “MCU has successfully identified and arrested multiple homicide suspects in 2026 and we remain dedicated to holding violent criminals accountable.”

Green said a fight preceded the shooting.

MSP officials have said someone shot into a crowd, striking the two boys.

Police are using all available investigative technology, including Flock cameras and other surveillance tools, in the investigation.

Green said the department is working on a plan to target the area of James P. Cole Boulevard and Stewart Street, which has been a problem area in the past for large gatherings.

The area is known for drag racing activity, Green said.

“Please keep these young men’s families in your thoughts as they navigate this difficult time,” Michigan State Police officials wrote in a news release.

You need to start clarifying in your copy-paste articles if the victim is white or black; I’m not sure if I should care or not

I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the many great contributions of the Black community and their culture to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature makes them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real Estate values are fueled by the influx of African Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nurturing of these communities, an example of all they have achieved by their enthusiasm for self- improvement through hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would be poorer as a nation...

If people can't handle words on the street then they are in for a rude awakening when they get to prison.

@SchlongusHumongus Escalating a minor disagreement into murderous intent is everyday normal to these subhuman, stupid, ego driven, abominations, who walk our earth with brains that are completely deranged with inhuman principles. They need to be gone
