🚨 FINAL UPDATE: Deadly shootings on Detroit’s northwest side.
Thank you for your continued support today as our community dealt with the unimaginable fear of an active shooter in our city.
We can confirm that the suspect is now in custody.
We’d like to thank our community for vital tips that lead us to his arrest. We are still in the early stages of this investigation but we are confident that suspect in custody is the person responsible for the multiple deadly shootings.
Chief White’s Statement: “This did not need to happen. Once again, Detroiters are reeling after lives were senselessly taken at random from our community. We mourn their loss and pray for those fighting for their lives at this hour. There are more questions than answers, but Detroiters can sleep peacefully tonight knowing this suspect is off the streets.
This did not need to happen.
The suspect gained access to a gun and cowardly took innocent lives. Early reports tell us the gun was easily obtained by the suspect.
This did not need to happen.
I firmly believe gun violence is a national crisis that can’t be solved solely by police action.
We are incredibly thankful for the women and men of the Detroit Police Department who put their own lives on the line around the clock to keep us safe.
I’d like to also thank our local, state, and federal law enforcement partners for their continued collaboration and support.“
We will have an update tomorrow on the latest in the investigation.
