DETROIT (WXYZ) — A man is in critical condition after he was shot multiple times outside a funeral home in Detroit Wednesday evening, police said.
It happened around 5:30 p.m. at Andrews Funeral Home on Rosa Parks Boulevard near Glendale Avenue.
Details about what led up to the shooting are unclear at this time, but police said a visitation service was happening at the time of the incident.
The victim is a 32-year-old man, the Detroit Police Department said. It's unknown how many people were inside and outside the funeral home when the shooting happened.
Police on scene said there was an "excessive amount" of shots fired.
“There was a lot of casings from the gunfire,” DPD Cmdr. Aric Tosqui said. “With this amount, it’s likely that the individual was targeted.”
Suspect information was not immediately available. Detroit police said there were multiple shooters in two different cars.
Investigators are working to pull cameras in the neighborhood to learn more.
“You’re here to grieve the passing of a loved one and to have something like this happen on top of it, it’s just terrible for the family," Tosqui said. "For the funeral home, they have a job to do and… dealing with grief and death on a regular basis, it’s a thankless job that they have to do. Unfortunately, when you have something like this happen, the best thing that we can do is hope that someone comes forth and helps out our investigation, so we can get those responsible brought to justice."
Anyone with information about the shooting including the relationships between the people involved is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP.
