Victim Doinks Bad Guy With Bad Guy’s Own Gun

Detroit’s West Side: Sometimes, it’s just better to stay home and watch cartoons, seriously.

At 10:14AM, Detroit Police received news of shots fired and 1 body on the ground in the 18600 block of Snowden.

Arriving officers found 1 dude stretched out in front of the dwelling, the unit immediately asked for Detroit EMS to step it up and started asking questions, a lot of questions, apparently.

Accounts vary, but some say this was a car jacking gone horribly wrong, some say it was a robbery gone bad, but there’s a dead dude stretched out in front of a residence on Snowden, that’s not going to change.

So, this is how the story goes, 2 guys armed with at least one handgun decided to approach the victim while he was sitting inside his rented Honda Santa Fe on Snowden St.

They demanded cash and he didn’t have any. We live in a cashless society these days, so for bad guys, it’s a hit and miss thang.

Bad Guy 1: Give us some money!

Bad Guy 2: Yeah, give us some money, we don’t have any!

Victim: I don’t have any either!

Bad Guy 1: What?

Bad Guy 2: Yeah, what?

Victim: I meant I don’t have any money onnnn me, but I have some up at the house, follow me to riches bitches…

Well, as these two yahoos would soon find out, sometimes a plan doesn’t always come together. When the three got to the front of the house, the victim, seeing an opportunity, fought with the two bad guys. He was able to disarm 1 and sent him screaming to Hell. His carcass was seen splayed out in front of the house, taking a dirt nap….er, snow nap.

The second suspect, a bit shocked, decides to do a Bo & Luke Duke towards the victim’s vehicle, jumps in and takes off north on Snowden towards 7 Mile, according to dispatch tapes.

This is where it gets a little confusing. Dispatch tapes reveal information on 2 vehicles, a gray Hyundai Sonata, apparently the bad guys ride, and a 2018 white Honda Santa Fe, rented from Hertz, belonging to the victim.

The victim’s Honda Santa Fe, with Florida plates, was discovered about an hour later on Hartwell St, 1 block west of the shooting scene. I haven’t heard anything on the Hyundai Sonata.

The 2nd suspect is described as a 20 something Black male, 6′ in height and about 230lbs. He was also described as being light skinned/complexion, wearing a black hoodie, black skull cap and black pants. He was last seen southbound on Hartwell, poor and butthurt…..probably wishing he had stayed in bed this morning instead of acting all bad ass.

He still doesn’t have any cash and his BFF is snorkling snow…well, was.

Edit 11:06am Friday: Corrected relationship of driver to child, condition of child and a description of the suspect.

Detroit’s West Side: Shots rang out on one of Detroit’s west side freeways Thursday evening. At around 7:00PM, a Godmother and her 3 year old godson were travelling northbound on the M-39, or Southfield Freeway, when someone in another vehicle fired an unknown number of rounds into their vehicle.

According to dispatch tapes, the shooting occurred in the northbound lanes between Joy Rd and Plymouth.

The 3 year old boy was seated in the rear of the Dodge Journey and secured inside a child’s safety seat. He was struck in the left side by at least 1 bullet. The godmother was uninjured.

With her child bleeding in the rear seat, the victims godmother drove to Plymouth Road and exited, driving in the BP Gas Station @ 17707 Plymouth Rd where authorities were notified.

Detroit EMS Medic 25 was dispatched with officer’s from the Detroit Police’s 6th Precinct.

DEMS Medic 25 conveyed the child, who wasn’t breathing at the time, to Sinai-Grace Hospital, while 6th Precinct scouts blocked streets on its route.

According to dispatch tapes, the Medics of M25 were working to secure an airway on the child and their efforts were obviously rewarded. The child, although in critical condition, is alive and in the hands of medical personnel.

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.
