DETROIT – Police are searching for two gunmen who ambushed and murdered a young couple sitting in their car at a Detroit gas station.

Benson Lindsey, 22, and his girlfriend were killed in the shooting, officials said. Their 9-month-old son was also in the car at the time, but he was not harmed.
Police said the couple had their second child one month ago: a daughter who was born prematurely and is still in the hospital.
Lindsey’s mother, Candace Lindsey, told the community that the gunmen took away her only son and left his children without parents.
“They took everything I had,” she said. “My son -- my only baby God allowed me to have.”
Detroit homicide detectives are fanning out across the city’s west side, trying to find the people responsible.
