Detroit Problems: Another child was shot on Detroit’s west side

By

Biltmore & Trojan

Detroit’s West Side (11:45PM): DPD is investigating a shooting @ Biltmore & Trojan Monday night at around 11:45PM. Reports indicate shots were fired into an occupied dwelling, grazing the child.

There is no dispatch audio of this incident as the child was privately conveyed to the hospital. Local hospitals are required to notify police when someone is admitted with a gunshot wound. Detroit Police evidence techs were dispatched to process the scene of a non-fatal shooting.

Reports indicate the child is in stable condition.

This is the 2nd instance of a child being grazed by a bullet fired into an occupied building this month. In that January 9th incident, a 7 year old child was grazed by a bullet fired into an occupied dwelling on Detroit’s east side.

If you have information on this incident contact the Detroit Police Department’s Eighth Precinct Investigative Unit at 313-596-5840. You can also submit tips anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP. 

Dispatch Audio: Shots Fired @ DPD Undercover Officers on Detroit’s West Side

Intervale & Northlawn

Detroit’s West Side (3:14AM) DPD undercover officers came under fire early Tuesday morning in the area of Northlawn & Intervale. The undercover officer called out a priority shots fired call at 3:14AM while chasing the suspect vehicle WB on the Davison approaching the WB I-96.

The suspect vehicle was described as a late model silver/white Chevrolet Tahoe with tinted windows. No plate information was given. The suspect vehicle was occupied by 2 suspects, armed with assault style rifles.

The undercover officer also mentioned two other vehicles involved in the incident, they were reportedly sporting Minnesota plates. There was some confusion on what kind of plates the suspect vehicle had and reports indicated Minnesota plates. That information was later revised to Michigan plates.

Units from the 2nd Precinct/UC vehicles followed the vehicle westbound on the I-96 from the Davison. The suspect vehicle exited the WB I-96 @ Greenfield and proceeded NB on Greenfield at speeds of at least 100MPH. Units lost sight of the vehicle in the area of Greenfield & Outer Dr W.

DPD did think they had the vehicle at Mark Twain & Midland but that vehicle turned out to be not involved. The Michigan State Police also pulled over a vehicle matching the suspect vehicle on the NB I-75 @ 6 Mile, but soon cleared the vehicle as not involved.

No shots took effect during the shooting, the undercover officers vehicle was not struck and he was not injured.

Canvassing officers did find a scene at Northlawn & Intervale, discovering numerous shell casings. The suspect vehicle remains outstanding and the DPD continues its investigation.

32 year old Shot @ Tracey & Puritan

Detroit’s West Side: Officers from the 2nd & 12th Precincts responded to the area of Tracy & Puritan early Friday morning at about 2:35AM on reports of shots being fired.

An arriving scout from the 12th Precinct discovered a 32 year old male sprawled in the street at the corner of Tracy & Puritan. Scouts originally notified supervisors the male wasn’t shot, but quickly amended that report saying the victim had a gunshot wound to the back of the head. Detroit EMS Medic 3, already responding to the incident, was notified of the change. Medic 3 conveyed the victim to Sinai-Grace Hospital with a DPD scout on board.

Officers were given information by witnesses that a man, possibly named “Jeff”, was responsible for the shooting and he was driving a grey/silver 2003 Buick Rendezvous.

According to dispatch audio, officers discovered a vehicle matching the description parked in front of a residence in the 15800 block of Tracey. Officers established a perimeter around the house but a barricaded gunman incident was NOT declared.

Police are still investigating. Condition of the victim is unknown.

Dispatch Audio – Woman shot and killed on Detroit’s east side.

By

Houston-Whittier & Hayes

Detroit’s East Side (1:30AM): A woman was shot and killed early Tuesday morning @ Hayes & Houston Whittier. Officers were notified minutes earlier of shots being fired in the area. Units of the 9th Precinct started canvassing the area looking for a shooting scene when they were notified on a shooting on Hayes. A caller stated he saw the vehicle riddled with bullet holes but he wasn’t sure if anyone was inside the vehicle.

Arriving officers found a woman shot in the front seat of a burgundy GMC Envoy SUV, appearing to have suffered a GSW to the face.

Detroit EMS was dispatched to the scene, Medic 13 arrived and pronounced the victim deceased.

DEMS Medics were initially dispatched to Chalmers & Houston-Whittier at the Citgo Gas Station on reports of a man with a gunshot wound. That dispatch was soon amended to the shooting location on Hayes. The DPD were checking Green Light location tapes to see if they could identify another shooting victim.

Another 5th Precinct unit notified dispatch that he was flagged down by a man who stated his girlfriend had been killed by others, the dispatch audio is of low quality and it’s difficult to pin down the area, somewhere on Lakepointe.

Witnesses on the scene stated the shooting occurred between Kelly & Hayes, the suspect described as a 6′ Black male, armed with an “AR-15”.
