Green Light Camera Catches Incident

Detroit’s West Side (4:15AM): DPD’s 8th Precinct broadcast an officer safety bulletin advising officers of shots were being fired south of Lahser & Pilgrim early Wednesday morning. Apparently, and I can’t confirm this, while DPD’s Crime Intell were checking cameras they noticed a mini-van, described as a Dodge Caravan, dumping a body on the ground, shooting it and then setting it ablaze at Westbrook & Outer Drive West.

Multiple units were dispatched to the scene and discovered the body, still ablaze. Detroit Fire and Detroit EMS Medic 17 were dispatched to the scene. DEMS Medic 17 pronounced the victim deceased shortly afterward.

Dispatch audio suggests the suspect is a Black male in a gray hoodie. The vehicle was last seen southbound on Westbrook from Outer Drive W. There’s no further description given of the Dodge Caravan or the victim.

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”.
