What started as a fist fight at a high school graduation ceremony in Michigan on Tuesday has turned into a 20-year-old suspect because officials call an attempt to prevent mass shootings.

Oakland County authorities are looking for 20-year-old Jamarion Jaryante Hardiman (currently probation for weapons crimes), which is related to the Pontiac College of Arts and Technology (ATAP) graduation attempt, Sheriff Michael Michael Bouchard announced in a press conference Friday.

Another 19-year-old suspect is in custody and their identity is not released until the charge is filed. Busard said the 19-year-old suspect also has a criminal history involving weapons.

Oakland County Sheriff’s Deputies were initially sent to the United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM) property for combat at 6:40 p.m. Bouchard said a person approached the deputies at the scene and informed them that a family member saw a threat to fire the fire ceremony posted on Snapchat.

Bouchard said authorities were not sure of the specific wording of the post, but witnesses said it was a route “will be shooting the crowd.”

The two suspects, two Pontiac residents, were identified as part of the fight, and when authorities arrived, people were believed to have put parcels in the parking lot.

In collaboration with the UWM security team and its camera system, officials recovered two fully loaded weapons on the spot. Each weapon also has 40 rounds of magazines.

"So, only those two weapons don't change the magazine, there are 80 potential firepower rounds," Busard said. "You can only imagine the result of this in the shooting graduation."

A suspect unspecified by Bouchard is carrying a pink apron-style pistol with a backpack filled with magazines that was hidden inside the vehicle when the officer arrived. Another weapon to recover is the Glock semi-automatic pistol with 40-wheel stick magazine.

It is not clear whether the suspects have ever attended charter school, but Bushad said they did have friends and relatives at graduation and “had an ongoing dispute with individuals in the community.” The motive for the attempted shooting is not yet known, the sheriff said.

According to Bushad, other parties involved in the dispute did not cooperate with the authorities.

"While a brief physical dispute did occur within the venue, it was quickly handled by staff and security personnel, and the people involved were quickly removed," the school wrote in a social media post. "Thankfully, no one was hurt at the ceremony and we were able to continue and complete our beautiful opening celebration without further damage."

The 19-year-old suspect fled the scene but was found after graduation. Busard said his "confident" Hardyman will find it.

Authorities ask anyone to provide information about Hardiman’s whereabouts to call 911. Bouchard advises community members not to attempt to arrest or approach the suspect.

When the reporter asked if Bushad had something to say about Hardyman, he replied: "Turn to yourself. One way or another, we will bring you. Make it easier for yourself and your community."
