Unfortunately, the child died at Children’s Hospital on Friday morning.

Detroit Police are focusing their attention on images gathered by the BP Gas Stations ‘Green Light’ security cameras. Those images suggest the suspects vehicle is either a white or silver newer model 2 door coupe, possibly a BMW or a Mercedes Benz.

The northbound lanes of the M-39 between Joy Rd & the I-96 remained closed late into the evening while investigators processed the scene.
