Lyft Driver Shot At On Detroit’s East Side
There’s a buttload of dangerous jobs in Detroit. 8 police officers have been killed or wounded since September of 2016, Detroit firefighters and medics are routinely attacked, gas stations attendants; well, we won’t even go there, and the job of being a child in Detroit is extremely hazardous.
Add Lyft driver to that keraaazy job lumped into the category of taxi drivers in Detroit.
A Lyft driver picked up a couple of Detroit’s finest Friday evening on the 28th of March.
The Lyft driver, sensing something was wrong, requested the upstanding but often misunderstood thugs to leave his vehicle.
The incident occurred on Lafayette & Chene in the beautiful eastern side of Detroit, just outside the stunning backdrop of downtown Detroit.
Now, the really crazy part is the driver apparently left the vehicle in an attempt to, I don’t know, confront them about some slight I guess?
I dunno.
In Detroit, you don’t confront unless you’re adequately strapped and know what you’re doing.
The obvious happened and the Lyft driver was fired on by the slack-jawed dirtbags.
Maybe you recognize the bad guys, maybe you don’t. If you do, call the PD if you’re done with this kind of nonsense, or don’t.
Welcome to Detroit.

The officer is in critical condition with a “devastating” gunshot wound to the back of the head.
46-year-old POS James Ray has been identified as the shooter.
“Our investigators are estimating that our officers knocked kicked a number of times on the door trying to gain entry unsuccessfully,” said Chief James Craig.
“They were responding to a domestic assault and battery, a woman calling for help.”
“As Ray left his apartment building with a gun, he has actually chambered a round in his weapon,” Craig said. “As he approached the front door that was locked he opened the front door with the gun extended. His arm was extended and the officers responded.
“The officer that was shot fired several rounds from his department issued weapon and simultaneously both the officer and the suspect fell to the ground.”
The wounded officer is the 5th Detroit police officer shot this year and the 7th officer injured or killed since September of 2016. 2 officers of the 12th Precinct were shot by a shotgun wielding knucklehead on Easter Sunday 2017 and 2 officers from the 3rd Precinct were shot on March 15th by a dirtbag thought to be connected to Sgt Collin Rose’s murder in 2016.
Ray’s carcass was eventually bagged and tagged by the medical examiners office.
