FERNDALE (WWJ) – A Detroit man has been charged with attempted murder after firing shots at a woman’s vehicle in Ferndale on New Year’s Eve.

Bryant Davis, 29, was arraigned Thursday on one count of assault with intent to murder and one count of felon in possession of a firearm in connection with the shooting.

A 27-year-old Oak Park woman walked into the lobby of the Ferndale Police Department around 3:20 a.m. on Dec. 31 to report a non-fatal shooting.

The woman told police the shooting happened shortly before 2 a.m. in the 200 block of Leroy Street, just west of Woodward Avenue and south of 9 Mile Road.

She told authorities she was driving a car when the suspect fired multiple shots into the car. While multiple shots hit the vehicle, the woman was not injured.

Authorities have not released a possible motive in the shooting or any further details about the moments leading up to the incident.

Davis fled the area and was arrested on Wednesday.

He was arraigned Thursday in 43rd District Court and given a $250,000 cash/surety bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for Jan. 12.
