Shots Fired At Pursuing Officers

Detroit’s West Side: The DPD’s 8th Precinct is working another officer involved shooting that occurred earlier Saturday morning on Detroit’s NW side.

The incident started at around 5:15AM at St Marys & Keeler when 8th Precinct scouts witnessed a vehicle strike another. The officers attempted to stop the Buick Le Sabre when someone inside the vehicle started firing shots toward them.


The 8th Precinct Scouts pursued the vehicle until it “cracked up” in the area of Davison & Winthrop. One of the suspects inside the vehicle again brandished a firearm and an officer fired 1-2 rounds at him. According to dispatch audio, officers did take at least 1 person into custody at the scene with at least 2 others escaping on foot. No officers or suspects were injured.

A K9 track led officers to an address on Montrose where they found 1 adult female and 2 juveniles hid in the backyard. A check of the Buick Le Sabre’s registration led officers to another address on Montrose. DPD is at that address still working the incident.

The 8th Precinct is still detaining people at the house on Montrose. It doesn’t appear to have been cleared yet. 10:29AM.

DPD Evidence technicians have processed the scene at St Mary’s & Keeler.

The below audio is from the start of the incident at St Marys & Keeler and ending at Davison & Winthrop.

3 Shot In Detroit Wild West Side Shooting, Caught On Tape

Welcome To The Shitshow

Detroit’s West Side: Another wild night on Detroit’s west side this evening. At about 6:30PM, DPD’s 8th Precinct responded to reports of a shooting at the BP Gas Station, 24761 W 7 Mile.

Arriving officers found that indeed a shooting had taken place, but the victims had fled the scene. DPD’s 8th Precinct then started polling hospitals and discovered the victims had made their way to Botsford/Beaumont Hospital in Farmington Hills, alive.

The 3 victims, all males, were shot while sitting inside their vehicle outside the front doors of the BP gas station. Surveillance video caught the shooting, showing a shirtless Black male armed with appears to be a stainless steel semi-automatic, firing repeatedly into the victims vehicle, a silver Ford Focus.

Reports indicate a conversation between the shooter and the victims turned sideways, then; of course, as it often does in Detroit, gunfire erupted and people starting leaking.

Other patrons of the gas station can be seen beating feet in the video as the shots rang out, looking for cover.

The victims vehicle can be seen speeding off while the shooter, seemingly confused at no longer having anything to shoot at, started sprinting away to the west. It took a couple of seconds, but he remembered his ride was back in the other direction…shooting people can get confusing.

The shooter sprinted back to where he came from and jumped into the front passenger seat of a silver Kia Sedona, it didn’t stick around of course, that would be stupid.

Surveillance Video

The victims then drove themselves to Botsford Hospital in Farmington Hills where their vehicle was placed into evidence by the DPD.

The Bad Guys

The suspects are described as 3 Black males. The shooter, the front passenger of the vehicle is described as a skinny Black male, shirtless, wearing blue jeans with “nappy hair”, 19-20 years old.

The vehicle was last seen southbound on Grand River, then southbound on Salem.

The Victims

Of the three victims, one is in critical condition and the other two are in stable condition at Botsford/Beaumont Hospital in Farmington Hills. They’re all in their 20s according to the Detroit Police.
