"The shooter has not spoken to us about the incident," said Bowser. "But we believe the driver of the vehicle is an associate of the current defendant, whose name is Mendo Love, who is currently 18-years old.
"And we believe that there are people out in the city of Detroit and in the surrounding area that know Mendo Love and who he associates with," he said.
Police are now looking for the unidentified suspect seen in a shot from surveillance video (at right).
"I lost a son ... my grandchildren lost a father," the victim's stepmother, Joanne Singleton, told reporters, through tears. "Raymond Singleton did not deserve this. He only took care of his kids. That was his whole life."
