Metro South MSP Post: A driver came into the post and reported that his rented U-haul van had a bullet hole in the top frame of his driver side door. He attempted to make the report with DPD but was advised to report it at the post.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the driver was driving in the left lane of westbound I 94 yesterday between 5:30-6:00PM when he heard a “noise” near the lodge. He checked his vehicle this morning prior to turning it in and observed an apparent bullet hole.

There was no traffic incident that took place on the freeway that the driver is aware of. It is possible the round came from the neighborhood along the freeway. Detectives are currently collecting evidence. Investigation is continuing.

Southfield Freeway (M39) & Ford Rd

Dearborn

On 7/9 Metro South troopers were dispatched to a Taylor address to make contact with a female who reported driving southbound on the Southfield Fwy near Ford Road, heard a noise and thought she ran over something.
She continued to her job in and when she inspected her vehicle she found a bullet hole on the trunk area of her vehicle. The trajectory of the bullet appears to be coming up at an angle suggesting a ricochet.

The driver stated she heard a noise from the rear the same time a black Ford Taurus and red Chysler 300 were observed passing at a high rate of speed with one exiting off at Ford Road.

Anyone who may have witnessed an altercation between those vehicles or have information on this incident are asked to call the Metro South Post at 734.287.5000
