DETROIT (WWJ) – Detroit police are asking for the public’s help in tracking down a pair of suspects who apparently tried to steal a car that was left running in a driveway before shooting at the car’s owner.
The aggravated assault incident unfolded around 9:15 a.m. on Jan. 20, in the area of Tireman Avenue and Fielding Street, a few blocks east of Rouge Park on the city’s far west side.
Police say the suspects pulled up in a red sedan and walked east on Tireman after parking the vehicle.
A short time later, the suspects walked toward the woman’s vehicle, which had been left running in her driveway. The suspects appeared to be trying to steal the vehicle, according to police.
That’s when she came out of her house and confronted the suspects. One of the suspects pulled out a gun and fired two or three shots in her direction, according to police.
Authorities did report any injuries in the incident and did not provide any descriptions of the suspects.
Police on Wednesday released video showing the suspects pulling up to the scene and walking in the direction of the vehicle.
Anyone who recognizes the suspects or their vehicle, or otherwise has any information about the crime is asked to call the Detroit Police Department’s 6th Precinct at 313-596-5640 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP. All Crime Stoppers tipsters will remain 100% anonymous.
