Another person was also shot.
Godbee said a citizen's tip lead to the arrest of the 28-year-old suspect, Rashad Brown.
"The citizens of Detroit are extremely sick and tired of the violence that's going on in the city, and their efforts to give us information have really been admirable, especially in the past 30 to 60 days," Godbee said.
Police aren't saying what prompted the shootout.
