Woman, 19, dead in shooting after road rage incident in Metro Detroit, police say
A 19-year-old woman is dead and police are investigating after a road rage-related shooting in Dearborn, Michigan Friday night.
According to the Dearborn Police Department, officers responded to the incident at the intersection of Tireman Avenue and West Morrow Circle around 9:45 p.m.
Investigators say the shooting happened after a road rage situation that happened earlier in the evening near Warren Avenue and Southfield Freeway. A driver in a white 2015 Chrysler 200 allegedly cut off the woman, who was driving a black 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Police believe the woman followed the Chrysler onto Tireman Avenue and Southfield Service Drive in an attempt to get license plate information.
When both vehicles reached the intersection of Tireman Avenue and West Morrow Circle, the Chrysler turned onto Cheyenne Street and several gunshots were allegedly fired at the Jeep.
One of the bullets went through the windshield of the Jeep and hit the woman, police say. She died at the scene.
Two female passengers in the woman's vehicle were not injured.
At least three people have been taken into custody in connection with the incident.
"We are shocked and disturbed by this completely senseless act of violence that has shattered our community," said Dearborn Police Chief Issa Shahin.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Dearborn Police Department at 313-943-2225 or submit an anonymous tip by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-773-2587.
