DETROIT — Detroit police are offering a $1,000 reward for tips about a person accused of shooting three people inside a Detroit gas station early Saturday.
According to police, the suspect got into a dispute with a cashier over a $3 refund. Police say, the suspect then shot three innocent bystanders inside the gas station.
One of the three shot was a man in his 30's who died from the injuries.
Detroit Police Chief James White described the violence as, "Tragic, ridiculous, unnecessary situation."
When events like this happen, police investigate to see whether or not the business is licensed.
Upon investigation, police found the Mobil Gas Station located at 12800 W. McNichols was not licensed and shut it down.
Malika Robinson who lives in the area learned the news when attempting to visit the gas station. She said, "Oh, well. Thank, God. Why they not licensed? There’s a lot of them around here like that."
Police say the suspect fled in a white Ford Expedition and is considered armed and dangerous.
