2 Dead In Possible Murder-Suicide

Detroit’s West Side (9:45AM): Detroit EMS Medic 17 was notified by citizens that a shooting had taken place at the Mobil Gas Station, across from Medic 17’s quarters @ Fenkell & Greenfield.

Upon arrival, DEMS Medic 17 discovered 2 people had been shot and requested a 2nd medic rig to the scene. That request was canceled when Medic 17 notified dispatch that the 2 shooting victims were deceased. DEMS Medic 17 requested DPD to the scene and was given an estimated 5 minute arrival time for scouts.

Moments earlier, DPD was notified of a 911 call stating that someone in the Mobil Gas Station was requesting a unit to the location stating that “someone was trying to kill him and he has a weapon in his pocket, the weapon though can’t be seen.” It’s unknown if the caller is talking about himself or someone else.

DPD is investigating, closing down streets, dealing with large crowds appearing and attempting to sort the situation out. DPD is stating that this was a random shooting by the gunman who, after shooting down another person, committed suicide.

The DPD is still dealing with crowd control issues at the time of this writing.

Arriving scouts reported 2 shot and 1 appeared to be a “K-Type”, deceased.

Reports indicate a shootout took place when the victim and another male arrived at the residence on Prairie and were subsequently ambushed by desperados lurking in the shadows.

Shots were exchanged and 3 ended up with holes, 2 of those victims remained on scene, including the deceased. The varmints who ambushed the victim hightailed it from the crime scene…

Meanwhile…

The vehicle was last seen going westbound on McNichols. Sinai-Grace Hospital security also notified DPD that a black semi-automatic handgun was also spotted on the floorboard of the vehicle. This vehicle was determined to be involved in the shooting on Prairie St.

Detroit EMS Medic 3 pronounced 1 28 year old male deceased on Prairie St and conveyed 1 victim from the scene to Sinai-Grace Hospital. Both victims, including the victim dumped by the Chevy Equinox are listed in critical condition.

Police are said to have recovered 2 weapons from the scene. The Chevy Equinox remains outstanding.

Green Light Camera Catches Incident

Detroit’s West Side (4:15AM): DPD’s 8th Precinct broadcast an officer safety bulletin advising officers of shots were being fired south of Lahser & Pilgrim early Wednesday morning. Apparently, and I can’t confirm this, while DPD’s Crime Intell were checking cameras they noticed a mini-van, described as a Dodge Caravan, dumping a body on the ground, shooting it and then setting it ablaze at Westbrook & Outer Drive West.

Multiple units were dispatched to the scene and discovered the body, still ablaze. Detroit Fire and Detroit EMS Medic 17 were dispatched to the scene. DEMS Medic 17 pronounced the victim deceased shortly afterward.

Dispatch audio suggests the suspect is a Black male in a gray hoodie. The vehicle was last seen southbound on Westbrook from Outer Drive W. There’s no further description given of the Dodge Caravan or the victim.
