DETROIT (WWJ) – Authorities are renewing pleas for tips in the case of a 14-year-old boy who was shot and killed on Detroit's northwest side nearly a year ago.
The teen was shot around 5:30 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 19 in the area of Ferguson Street and 7 Mile Road.
The victim then ran one block over to Biltmore Street and collapsed. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Detroit police officials on Wednesday said a $1,000 cash reward is being offered through Detroit Rewards TV for anyone who can provide tips that lead to an arrest.
While a possible motive in the shooting remains unclear, police officials said Wednesday an unknown suspect fired shots from a dark colored Jeep Cherokee in an alley before fleeing down the alley and then south on Asbury Park.
