Man Killed In Road Rage Shooting After Crash On I-96 In Detroit
DETROIT (WWJ) - Detroit police are hoping the public can help identify a suspect who killed another man after a minor traffic incident on I-96 -- a murder that took place in front of the victim's infant child.
The situation unfolded around 10 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 5 when two vehicles were involved in a minor car accident on I-96 near Greenfield Road on the city's west side.
After the accident both vehicles exited the freeway, at which point an argument ensued between passengers in both parties.
The 26-year-old victim was stopped at the traffic light when police say the suspect pulled out a gun and opened fire, fatally wounding the victim. His girlfriend and infant child were inside the vehicle at the time of the shooting but were uninjured, according to police.
The suspect is described as a black male with a caramel, medium complexion, about 26-years-old, short in stature with a sloppy, chunky build. He has dark brown eyes, short brown hair with a receding hairline, and clean-shaven with a slight goatee. He was driving a gold Chevy Impala.
Anyone with information on the suspect is urged to contact police at 313-267-4600 or submit a tip anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP.
