The FBI raided a Dearborn warehouse and two Detroit homes on Wednesday, killing one man and arresting several members of what officials call a radical Muslim group after the unsealing of a criminal complaint in which 11 suspects were charged with various felonies.

Charges against the men included illegal possession and sale of firearms, theft from interstate shipments, mail fraud to obtain the proceeds of arson, and tampering with motor vehicle identification numbers.
"At one location, four suspects surrendered and were arrested without incident," the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's office said in a new release. "Luqman Ameen Abdullah did not surrender and fired his weapon. An exchange of gunfire followed and Abdullah was killed. An FBI canine was also killed during the exchange."

On Thursday, Canadian authorities in Windsor arrested Abdullah's' son, Mujahid Carswell, 30, of Detroit.
Officials later arrested two remaining fugitive suspects, Yassir Ali Khan, 30, of Warren and Ontario and Mohammad Alsahli, 33, of Ontario.
This version updates that Khan and Alsahli, the last of 11 men sought in the federal criminal complaint, were taken into custody in Canada.
