INKSTER, Mich. (WXYZ) — The Inkster Police Department says they have arrested a man who they believe shot his girlfriend Saturday evening.
Andre Levell-Freeman Williams Jr. was arrested around 8 p.m. Tuesday. No other details about his capture have been released.
First responders were called around 9:45 p.m. Saturday after reports of a woman being shot at a home in the 400 block of Biltmore Street.
Officers found a woman who had been shot in the neck. She was transported to a local hospital. On Saturday, police said she was in critical condition but was expected to survive.
In a statement, authorities say the couple got into an argument before the boyfriend shot the girlfriend with a handgun. They believed that the man was still inside the home when police got there, but investigators later determined he had fled the scene.
“If you would shoot your girlfriend, or family member or relative, you’ll shoot anybody," said Inkster Police Chief Bill Ratliff. "So I would caution the public not to approach him, not to do anything try and take him into custody but to call 911, notify law enforcement immediately."
Ratliff added that this is the second domestic violence incident that has happened in the city in the past week.
“You have to understand that solving issues doesn’t need to involve violence," said Ratliff. "Have a conversation, you don’t have to kill each other, you don’t have to shoot each other."
