FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT. LOCAL 4 NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW COMING UP HERE AT 11. WE’VE HAD SOME CLOUD
COVER WORKING THROUGH AS WE’VE
HAD THROUGHOUT THE EVENING, BUT
THE SUNSHINE RETURNS FOR YOUR

EXPECT TO YOUR FOUR AND FORECAST
COMING UP. ALL RIGHT, BRIAN, BUT
WE BEGIN WITH A DEVELOPING STORY
ON DETROIT’S EAST SIDE. ONE MAN
IS DEAD AFTER A DRIVE BY
SHOOTING. POLICE SAY THE VICTIM
WAS SHOT AS HE SAT AT A RED
LIGHT. IT HAPPENED AT THE
INTERSECTION OF SEVEN MILE ROAD
AND RYAN POLICE SAY THE MAN WAS
ABLE TO DRIVE A FEW MORE BLOCKS
BEFORE STOPPING IN FRONT OF
PERSHING HIGH SCHOOL. VICTOR
WILLIAMS JOINS US WITH WHAT
WE’RE LEARNING ABOUT THIS
INVESTIGATION. WELL THANKFULLY,
THIS HAPPENED ON A SUNDAY SO

TO THE BOTTOM OF WHO WOULD WANT
TO SHOOT SOMEONE. AT A TRAFFIC

VIOLENCE COMMANDER MICHAEL
MCGUINNESS, SPEAKING TO LOCAL 4
ABOUT YET ANOTHER TRAGIC
SHOOTING IN THE CITY, THIS TIME
AT A RED LINE ON THE EAST SIDE
OF TOWN AT SEVEN MILE AND RYAN
LEADING TO A CRASH AT FIVE P.M.
ON SUNDAY VICTIM WAS ABLE TO
ADVANCE A FEW BLOCKS. BUT THEN,
AS YOU CAN SEE, HIS VEHICLE CAME
TO REST AT THE AH DEFENSE OF
PERSHING HIGH SCHOOL, SALLY THE
VICTIM BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS
DODGE DURANGO. DID NOT MAKE IT
VICTIMS A 50 YEAR OLD MALE. AND
HE WAS DECLARED DECEASED. AT
SCENE HERE. THERE’S NO IDEA WHO
KILLED THE 50 YEAR OLD NOR IS
THEIR DESCRIPTION OF THE MAKE OR
MODEL OF THE CAR INVOLVED OTHER
THAN A COLOR AND TYPE OF VEHICLE
OFFENDERS. IN THIS CASE, WE’RE
DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT’S BEEN
DESCRIBED AS A GRAY OR BLACK
FOUR DOOR SEDAN. MULTIPLE BLOCKS
WERE TAPED OFF AS POLICE
INVESTIGATED THE CRIME. IT’S A
MAJOR INTERSECTION AT SEVEN MILE
AND RYAN SO WE HAD TO BLOCK OFF
THE TRAFFIC BECAUSE THERE IS
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE IN THE
INTERSECTION. YOU CAN SEE JUST
HOW MANY SHELL CASINGS WERE ON
THE GROUND BEING ANALYZED BY
EVIDENCE TEXTS ON THE SCENE WITH
DOZENS OF ONLOOKERS NEARBY. OUR
HEARTS GO OUT TO THE FAMILY.
THEY HAVE BEEN AT SCENE HERE,
AND WE’RE IN THE PROCESS TO MAKE
NOTIFICATIONS. AND THOSE THAT
HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED, OBVIOUSLY
UPSET FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. AT
THIS POINT, THERE IS NO WORD IF
THIS WAS A TARGETED ATTACK OR
NOT. BUT IN THIS CASE THERE WAS
ONLY ONE VICTIM. FORTUNATELY
THERE WAS NO OTHERS STRUCK BY
THE GUNFIRE. THERE WAS UPWARDS
OF 11 ROUNDS FIRED, AND
UNFORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO
GREEN LIGHT CAMERAS IN THE AREA
, BUT WE ARE TOLD THAT POLICE
ARE TRYING THEIR BEST TO FIND
ADDITIONAL SURVEILLANCE VIDEO
THAT CAN LEAD THEM TO WHO’S
RESPONSIBLE. VICTOR WILLIAMS
