West Detroit-11:33PM Saturday March 25 2017: Detroit Police were called to Steve’s Soul Food for reports of shots fired inside and outside of a building that houses Steve’s Soul Food and a banquet hall.

The banquet hall, which occupies the top floor of the building, was the scene of an argument that spilled outside.

10th Precinct scouts arrived on the scene and discovered multiple people shot, some still on scene and some privately conveyed to local hospitals.

Initial radio transmissions stated at least 1 female victim was suffering from a gunshot wound to the foot.

Upon further investigation, more victims were discovered.

A DPD Scout on the scene mentioned at least 1 k-type, DPD cop-speak for fatal, which proved to be false at the time.

The suspected shooter was described as a light skin black male, 18-20 years old, 5′ 8″ in height, short hair, small build, wearing jeans, a red shirt, burgundy jacket and was driving a red or maroon Dodge Challenger. He was armed with a blue steel automatic handgun.

The shooting took place after an argument between two groups of teens.

“There was two groups of kids. There was some sort of argument. One of the groups pulled out firearms and shot the other group,” said officer Jennifer Moreno, a police spokeswoman.

1 victim was transported by DEMS Medic 48 to Henry Ford Hospital and 1 victim was privately conveyed to Henry Ford.

2 victims were privately conveyed to Detroit Receiving Hospital.

Another victim, described as a 17 year old female, was privately conveyed to Children’s Hospital.

1 victim, a 16 year old male listed in extremely critical condition has since died.

1 victim was also described as the son of a “family member”, meaning a member of the Detroit Police Department.
