DETROIT, MI (WXYZ) — One woman is dead and one man is in critical condition following a shooting in downtown Detroit early this morning.
The incident happened around 12:30 a.m. Monday, leading to several freeway closures as police searched for shell casings in the area.
7 Action News reporter Peter Maxwell was on the scene and says he counted at least 29 crime scene markers on the ground.
Police say the victims left the Annex nightclub and were heading onto I-75 from Brush Street when someone reportedly started firing at them.
The driver then drove to a nearby hospital. A 27-year-old woman was pronounced dead, and a 30-year-old man is now being treated for his injuries.
Police say the other two occupants of the vehicle were not hit.
The investigation is ongoing.
“We are continuing to investigate this homicide. We know that this was not a random incident and was targeted towards one of the people in the car. Now we need to determine who it was and why," said Michigan State Police Lt. Mike Shaw in a statement.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call Michigan State Police.
