HAZEL PARK (WWJ) - Michigan State Police say a shooting on the I-75 service drive near 8 Mile Road in Hazel Park was not a random act.

Troopers were called to the area around 9 p.m. Wednesday after a 23-year-old man drove himself about five miles to the Red Lobster on 12 Mile Road off I-75 in Madison Heights. 

The driver was shot and looking for help. He was treated at a hospital and has since been released.  

Troopers and detectives are continuing to investigate the shooting, but say this wasn't a random act and they don't need any help from the public. 

Early reports indicated that investigators were looking for a red Dodge Charger with two black males in connection with the shooing, but state police say this is not accurate information.
