Masked, Gloved Man Found Dead In Front of Kush Mart

DETROIT November 25 2016: Detroit Police were flagged down earlier today in the area of Livernois & Chalfonte on Detroit’s west side. The reporting person (RP) told the DPD scout that there was a body laying in the parking lot of the Kush Mart, a marijuana dispensary at 15001 Livernois Ave.

The 10th Precinct officer discovered the body of a black male, 20-30 years old was wearing a mask covering the lower half of his face and his hands were gloved with surgical gloves. The scout immediately notified dispatch that the subject might be a suspect in some sort of crime. The above audio captures that moment.

Surveillance cameras positioned nearby may offer some clue as to why the guy was wearing a mask and how he managed to bleed out in the parking lot of a marijuana dispensary. Shell casings were discovered near the building that might help investigators unravel this mystery.

Updates will be posted as they become available…probably.
