FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. (WWJ) -- Police in Farmington Hills are on the search for three people involved in a shooting at a house party in the early morning hours of Halloween.
Police received multiple 9-1-1 calls around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, reporting that multiple shots had been fired near the site of a party on Stratford Court, in a subdivision located east of Haggerty Road and north of 13 Mile Road.
Police say the shooting stemmed from an earlier altercation inside the home, but have not said what led to the incident.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found people fleeing the area on foot and in cars.
Authorities say they recovered multiple shell casings and conducted an extensive search around the area, but found no victims.
The house had been struck by multiple bullets, however. Authorities say the shooting is believed to be a targeted incident and they did not believe there was any danger posed to the community.
Investigators worked throughout the night and were able to identify a possible suspect vehicle used in the shooting -- what appears to be a black or dark-colored Jeep or SUV.
Witnesses at the scene offered police descriptions of people involved in the altercation at the party and possibly involved in the shooting. All three are described as black males around 20-30 years old.
One suspect was wearing a purple shirt, with dreadlocks and gold teeth. Another suspect had on a brown shirt and had a beard, while a third man involved is described as “light skinned, with dreads.” He was wearing a yellow hooded sweatshirt.
