DETROIT – Detroit police want help identifying a suspect in four separate shootings that happened early Sunday morning.
According to Detroit police Chief James White, a 44-year-old woman was found with multiple gunshot wounds at 4:45 a.m. in the area of Wyoming and Margareta avenues.
While police were investigating that shooting, a witness found a 28-year-old man who had been shot multiple times in the area of 7 Mile Road and Wyoming Avenue.
At around 6:50 a.m. a woman in her 40s was found shot multiple times in the 19700 block of Livernois Avenue. At 7:10 a.m. a man was shot once when he noticed the suspect peering into vehicles and said something.
According to White, one of the victims was waiting for a bus, another was walking his dog and another was on the street. They were all injured, but none of the victims were robbed.
