Shooting on Detroit’s East Side Feb 7 2018

Man Shot On Detroit’s East Side, Probably

Detroit’s East Side 10:15AM: Detroit Police units from the 7th Precinct responded to reports of a shooting early this morning in the area of Gratiot & Mack.

This is where it gets confusing and why it’s such a pain in the ass figuring out just what happens on the streets of Detroit sometimes.

The audio consists of about 2 hours of audio (Below), stripped down, edited, cussed at and finally cut into something that might be understood.

The male apparently called 911 stating he’d been shot. A gray Dodge Durango was mentioned as being used to convey the injured gentleman to the hospital by Detroit EMS. Detroit EMS doesn’t drive Dodge Durango’s but what the hell, just go with it.

The victim eventually made it to Detroit Receiving Hospital and units of the 7th Precinct were busy checking out possible locations of the shooting. Gratiot & Mack was one of them and the other, at Sylvester & Belvidere, still in the 7th Precinct.

Officers were unable to find any type of scene at Gratiot & Mack and concentrated their attention on Sylvester & Belvidere. It’s still unknown if they found any evidence of a shooting scene.

Officer at Detroit Regional Hospital interviewed the leaking victim and discovered he’s been walking on Sylvester near Belvidere when the suspect shot him.

The Dodge Durango, no clue…maybe it was the suspects vehicle and maybe due to maintenance issues DEMS is now driving Dodge Durangos.

The suspect, a black male in his 40s, armed with an unknown type handgun is still on the loose somewhere in Detroit.

So, the victim has a GSW and his condition is unknown, he was shot at Sylvester & Belvidere on Detroit’s east side, the suspect is still loose with an unknown type handgun and I can’t believe you’re still here.

This is what you get when you’re independent and don’t have access to the DPD’s press releases.

And so it goes.
