The shooting occurred on Greenfield Road north of Pembroke Avenue between 7 Mile and 8 Mile roads on the city’s west side.
We have a lot of unknowns in this situation, but police said a man had died, and one person was in custody.
“One individual was discovered fatally shot, and we have a person of interest that we’re speaking with,” said Kimberly Blackwell.
Blackwell from the Detroit Police Department said they are still trying to identify the body.
“We’re still trying to identify the victim and obviously contact their family before we release any further information,” Blackwell said.
