DETROIT (WXYZ) — One man is dead after he was shot in a drive-by shooting on Detroit's west side overnight.
We arrived to an emotional scene with who I believe to be the victim's loved ones calling others on the phone saying the victim is dead in between sobs. Right now we don’t have a lot of information other than a suspect fired into that home.

I talked with the victim's mom, who tells me she is shattered. She said the victim, named Junior, is only 18 years old, and they are pleading with the shooter to turn themselves in.
Squad cars lined the block overnight with crime tape surrounding the home.
Just after 1 a.m., police say the unknown shooter shot into the home multiple times hitting Junior, and he died at the hospital.
His mom said Junior is the youngest of five kids, and said their house has been shot up before by people she believes are the same people.
"It wasn’t worth it. You took something from me, you took my life from me. So I ask you all if you all could just turn yourself in," she said.
We're told about seven people were inside the home at the time of the shooting, and police still haven't given a suspect, description or given motivation of what led up to the shooting.
