(WWJ) Detroit police are looking for a man wanted in a shooting that wounded two people at a gathering last Friday.
According to investigators, shots rang out at around 11:35 p.m. on June 19, in the 18000 block of Lahser Rd., in the Old Redford neighborhood on Detroit's west side.
Two people were hit: a 30-year-old woman who was treated for her injuries and released from the hospital, and a 35-year-old man who remained hospitalized Wednesday in critical condition. Their names were not released.
Following an investigation, police say they have identified the shooter as 39-year-old Julius Lee Wallace, III, and they're looking for tips from the public to track him down.
While police did not say what prompted the shooting, the DPD listed it among several at house or block parties over Father's Day weekend where disputes led to gunfire.
"What we're seeing is these argument-based senseless shootings among people who are acquainted, who are attending block parties," Chief James Craig said at a news conference Monday. "And so it's gotta stop."
Wallace is described as a black male, 6'1" tall and 475 lbs.
Anyone who knows of this wanted man's whereabout is asked to call the Detroit Police Department's Eighth Precinct at 313-596-5840, or the Crime Stoppers tip line at 1-800-SPEAK UP (1-800-773-2587). As always, anyone who calls Crime Stoppers with information will remain completely anonymous, and will not be required to speak with police or to testify in court.
