UPDATE: Police have arrested the suspect in an officer-involved shooting Monday in Harrison Township. He was taken into custody without incident in the 13000 block of Livernois at 6:20 p.m.
The suspect, 32-year-old Clint Washington Jr., was set to testify Monday in a murder case and officers were going to pick him up with what's called a witness detainer warrant.
Washington did not live in the apartments where the shooting happened. He was there visiting his mother.
Detroit Police Chief Jame Craig also says Washington used his car as a weapon, backed up into an undercover car and then took off. Officers fired shots at him in response.
The Macomb County Sheriff's Office conducted the new crime scene investigation. Washington could be charged with felony assault. He had outstanding warrants but nothing violent only traffic issues and failure to pay child support.
Chief Craig says there will be an internal investigation into how police handled this case.
Washington is now being held at the Macomb County Jail.
