DETROIT (WWJ) – Police are asking the public for tips after a man reported being shot on I-75 early Sunday morning in Detroit.

Michigan State Police say a 25-year-old Detroit man called 911 around 12:45 a.m. Sunday, reporting he had been shot at by unknown suspects while driving on northbound I-75 in the area of I-94 and Clay.

Police say the caller, who is a valid CPL holder, was armed with two handguns and “fired one round as he had his head down and his arm pointed out and backward from the driver’s seat.”

It was not clear what may have prompted the reported shooting and police do not have a description of any possible suspects or vehicles.

Troopers investigated on the freeway, but found no evidence that indicated a shooting had happened in the area.

MSP seized both of the caller’s guns and his cell phone. The scene and the caller’s vehicle were processed, but police are asking for help in figuring out what exactly happened.

Anyone who may have information on this incident is asked to call MSP at 734-287-5000 or leave a tip on their mobile app.
