EASTPOINTE (WWJ) -- Police are investigating a drive-by shooting in Eastpointe that left one man injured.

Officers responded to a call on the 18000 block of Holland Avenue near 9 Mile and Kelly roads around 10:15 p.m. on Wednesday, with reports of a man who had been shot.


The 36-year-old Eastpointe resident told officials that he had been driving home from Detroit when a black Chrysler 300C began following him.

The suspect vehicle -- which contained approximately five people -- then pulled alongside the victim while at the 9 Mile and Kelly intersection, and fired multiple rounds into his vehicle.

He was struck by one bullet and suffered a non-fatal injury. The man was then able to drive home and call police.

After treating the man at the scene, authorities took him to a local hospital for additional treatment, where he is expected to recover.

Those with information about the incident, including businesses in the area who have exterior surveillance cameras, are being urged to contact Eastpointe Police Detective Welch at (586) 445-8957.
