1 Wounded In Downtown Detroit Shooting

Detroit: Detroit Police responded to reports of a shooting outside of their downtown headquarters on Saturday afternoon. DPD 911 received a call saying there had been a male shot at Michigan & 3rd St’s at around 3:45PM. Detroit Police dispatch had a bit of a problem finding units available as 3rd Precinct units were busy with a foot pursuit. A Casino unit responded along with 7th Precinct units. Detroit Fire also responded to the scene with Detroit EMS.

The suspects and victim were apparently known to each other and the shooting took place inside the victims vehicle parked outside the DPD Headquarters Building, according to dispatch. The victim was shot in the leg and was able to escape the vehicle.

The male and female suspect, driving the stolen/carjacked black Chevrolet Cruze, hightailed it to the bus station at Sixth & Howard, SW of the shooting location. There, a Michigan State Police Metro South Trooper was flagged down and advised a vehicle was blocking Howard St in front of the bus station.

While investigating the vehicle a cab driver told the trooper the front seat passenger had been armed. The driver was described as female. Michigan State Police dispatch advised the metro south trooper this was a fresh car jacking that occurred at Michigan and 3rd. The registered owner of the car was shot twice.

The trooper stood by rendering assistance until the arrival of DPD units.

The suspects, described as a Black male and Black heavy set female with long blonde hair jumped into a City Cab and were conveyed to the area of McClellan & Mack. Multiple units from the 7th Precinct responded to the area and a search for the suspects commenced. The suspects were eventually cornered and arrested. A weapon was recovered.

House of Zen Marijuana Dispensary Shootout

Detroit: Peaceful and relaxing feelings were shattered at the House of Zen Marijuana Dispensary yesterday.

Two armed bad guys met two armed security guards at the House of Zen on Detroit’s east side Saturday afternoon, 24 November 2018. The marijuana dispensary at 14501 Mack (5th DPD Precinct) saw the 2 groups exchanging gunfire at around 5:44PM. Detroit Police received information that one of the security guards had been shot.

Further investigation by units on the scene revealed the guard had GSW’s to the arm and chest. He survived. The second security guard exchanged gunfire with the two bad guys, it’s unknown if the second guards shots took effect on the bad guys and the guard walked away unharmed, very Zen.

The shooting occurred outside of the dispensary when the guards observed two suspicious characters, 1 guard approached the suspects and the other guard stood safely at the dispensary’s door. Shots were exchanged between the bad guys and guard who approached the suspects. The wounded guard was standing at the dispensary’s door, not Zen.

The suspects escaped the scene in an older model two-toned Chevrolet Silverado, described as having black lower panels and beige upper panels. No description of the suspects were given. Suspects were last seen driving north on Marlborough St.

Shooting on Detroit’s East Side Feb 7 2018

Man Shot On Detroit’s East Side, Probably

Detroit’s East Side 10:15AM: Detroit Police units from the 7th Precinct responded to reports of a shooting early this morning in the area of Gratiot & Mack.

This is where it gets confusing and why it’s such a pain in the ass figuring out just what happens on the streets of Detroit sometimes.

The audio consists of about 2 hours of audio (Below), stripped down, edited, cussed at and finally cut into something that might be understood.

The male apparently called 911 stating he’d been shot. A gray Dodge Durango was mentioned as being used to convey the injured gentleman to the hospital by Detroit EMS. Detroit EMS doesn’t drive Dodge Durango’s but what the hell, just go with it.

The victim eventually made it to Detroit Receiving Hospital and units of the 7th Precinct were busy checking out possible locations of the shooting. Gratiot & Mack was one of them and the other, at Sylvester & Belvidere, still in the 7th Precinct.

Officers were unable to find any type of scene at Gratiot & Mack and concentrated their attention on Sylvester & Belvidere. It’s still unknown if they found any evidence of a shooting scene.

Officer at Detroit Regional Hospital interviewed the leaking victim and discovered he’s been walking on Sylvester near Belvidere when the suspect shot him.

The Dodge Durango, no clue…maybe it was the suspects vehicle and maybe due to maintenance issues DEMS is now driving Dodge Durangos.

The suspect, a black male in his 40s, armed with an unknown type handgun is still on the loose somewhere in Detroit.

So, the victim has a GSW and his condition is unknown, he was shot at Sylvester & Belvidere on Detroit’s east side, the suspect is still loose with an unknown type handgun and I can’t believe you’re still here.

This is what you get when you’re independent and don’t have access to the DPD’s press releases.

And so it goes.
