Lyft Driver Shot At On Detroit’s East Side

By Leave a Comment

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.

A shooting on Detroit’s west side lead to a fatal traffic collision at Grand River & Schaefer early Tuesday morning. Detroit police responded to reports of a shooting on the 14000 block of Northlawn this morning at 7:25AM.

Police from the 10th Precinct were called to the scene following a 911 call describing a man armed with a shotgun shooting inside and outside the residence on Northlawn.

10th Precinct Unit 10-3 soon spotted the suspect, identified as 34 year old Dante Lindsay, driving a green 2008 Chevrolet Uplander at Davison & Wyoming.

The audio suggests Unit 10-3 had activated lights and siren at that point.

The above audio has a lot of gaps in the transmissions, but a supervisor soon asked for speed & conditions present during the pursuit.

Radio transmissions suggest the pursuit was then terminated by supervisors.

A few minutes later, another unit had located the suspects vehicle traveling south on Schaefer from Schoolcraft in the 2nd Precinct, notifiying dispatch they were following the suspects vehicle but had not activated lights or siren.

The suspects vehicle continued south on Schaefer until striking another vehicle between Green River & the I-96 Service Drive (Jeffries Freeway).

Units on the scene notified dispatch that 1 suspect was in custody and another down, possibly a “k-type (Fatal).

Detroit Police Officer Still In Critical Condition

Detroit – 1045PM: A Detroit police officer was shot on Detroit’s west side Sunday night.

Officers from the 2nd Precinct, Unit 21, responded to reports of an assault & battery at Joy Rd & Dawes.

As the 2 officers attempted to make contact to the reporting person, the suspect emerged and started firing on the officers with a .25 semi-automatic handgun.

Both officers returned fire and struck the suspect.

The suspect was killed and remains on the scene. The suspects weapon was also recovered.

The dead suspects relation to the original call is unknown.

The suspect tied to the original call left the scene in the assault & battery victims vehicle before the officers arrived.

The wounded officer is a 14 year veteran of the DPD. The officer’s partner, a rookie just 6 months out of the academy was not wounded.

The wounded officer was conveyed to Beaumont Hospital in Dearborn by another DPD scout while other scouts blocked roads and intersections leading into Dearborn.

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.

This is video from a story we broke on March 23, 2017. DPD units from the 9th Precinct responded to reports of a shooting on a DDOT Bus at Harper & Whittier on Detroit’s east side..

Upon arrival, responding officers reported that none of the fired rounds took effect, then quickly amended their report stating some rounds had struck the bus.

The incident began when the DDOT bus was flagged down by a woman at Harper & Whittier. She was quickly followed by the suspect, DeWilliam Pugh. An argument between the suspect and woman took place inside the bus when the bus driver intervened.

The bus driver repeatedly ordered the suspect off the bus until he pushed Pugh off.

Pugh then appears to fire at least 2 rounds in the direction of the driver, missing him. At least 1 round struck the door of the bus.


The following information is on WANTED person DeWilliam Pugh.
