Detroit’s SW Side 1004PM Thursday 8 11 2022: A Detroit 4th Precinct Scout attempted a traffic stop on an improperly plated black Dodge Ram at around 10:04PM Thursday evening. The vehicle was occupied by 3 Black males. The occupants fired on the officers from inside the vehicle, striking the Detroit Police Scout Car. No officers were injured.

The 4th Precinct Scouts followed the vehicle and additional shots were fired at officers according to dispatch audio. At one point during the pursuit, the officers returned fire and struck the suspect vehicle in the area of Omaha & Electric.

The pursuit entered the 94 and 39 freeways on several occasions approaching speeds of 115MPH. The suspects ended up Southfield Rd & Snow Ave where a pit maneuver by Michigan State Troopers forced the vehicle to stop. The 3 males bailed from the vehicle. Two of those suspects was taken into custody almost immediately after running towards some ponds, with one running across the 39 Freeway in the area of Southfield Rd across from Lowes Home Improvement in Allen Park, near the ponds. All 3 suspects were taken into custody by responding units from the Michigan State Police, Detroit Police Department and Dearborn PD at around 10:32PM. The weapon used to fire on the officers; described in dispatch audio as an AR15, was also recovered.

The Southfield Freeway was closed during the investigation.

No officers were injured during the exchange of gunfire. An MSP Trooper did receive ‘bumps and bruises’ during the takedown.

Shooters Open Fire At Gathering

Warren, 1047PM: Warren PD responded to reports of a shooting in the 28200 block of Lawson Street; cross of 9 Mile/Stephens, at 1047PM Wednesday evening. Officers were already responding to the area on reports of loud music when the shooting took place.

Originally, the call was for 1 female suffering from a GSW but that quickly changed to 3 with GSW wounds.

Warren PD dispatch audio suggests that a female was shot in leg, a male shot in the back and another male shot in the buttocks area. All victims were conveyed to area hospitals by Warren Fire.

Dispatch audio also suggests that at least 1 person was detained on scene, although his relationship to the shooting is unclear, he may in fact be a victim who “shot back” at the shooters.

The shooters were said to be in a dark vehicle; possibly a newer model Chevrolet Impala, and both the driver and passenger were popping off rounds out of the vehicle towards the house on Lawson. Reports indicate about a 100 people had gathered at the address on Lawson for a party.

Warren PD immediately secured the area and the evidence, described as .223 shell casings in area streets. I’ll update if further information is made available…

Welcome To The Shitshow

Detroit’s West Side: Another wild night on Detroit’s west side this evening. At about 6:30PM, DPD’s 8th Precinct responded to reports of a shooting at the BP Gas Station, 24761 W 7 Mile.

Arriving officers found that indeed a shooting had taken place, but the victims had fled the scene. DPD’s 8th Precinct then started polling hospitals and discovered the victims had made their way to Botsford/Beaumont Hospital in Farmington Hills, alive.

The 3 victims, all males, were shot while sitting inside their vehicle outside the front doors of the BP gas station. Surveillance video caught the shooting, showing a shirtless Black male armed with appears to be a stainless steel semi-automatic, firing repeatedly into the victims vehicle, a silver Ford Focus.

Reports indicate a conversation between the shooter and the victims turned sideways, then; of course, as it often does in Detroit, gunfire erupted and people starting leaking.

Other patrons of the gas station can be seen beating feet in the video as the shots rang out, looking for cover.

The victims vehicle can be seen speeding off while the shooter, seemingly confused at no longer having anything to shoot at, started sprinting away to the west. It took a couple of seconds, but he remembered his ride was back in the other direction…shooting people can get confusing.

The shooter sprinted back to where he came from and jumped into the front passenger seat of a silver Kia Sedona, it didn’t stick around of course, that would be stupid.

Surveillance Video

The victims then drove themselves to Botsford Hospital in Farmington Hills where their vehicle was placed into evidence by the DPD.

The Bad Guys

The suspects are described as 3 Black males. The shooter, the front passenger of the vehicle is described as a skinny Black male, shirtless, wearing blue jeans with “nappy hair”, 19-20 years old. The driver is described as heavy set, dark complected, wearing a white t-shirt and white baseball hat. The third passenger is described as a Black male wearing an open checkered red shirt. The vehicle was last seen southbound on Grand River, then southbound on Salem.

The Victims

Of the three victims, one is in critical condition and the other two are in stable condition at Botsford/Beaumont Hospital in Farmington Hills. They’re all in their 20s according to the Detroit Police.
