(WWJ) Dearborn police say a person of interest is in custody following a shooting over the weekend.

On Sunday, Oct. 18, at around 5:40 p.m., Dearborn officers responded to the area of Warren Ave near Chase on a report of shots fired.


The suspect vehicle -- described as an early 2000s green Honda Accord four-door sedan with a blue/gray colored passenger side door -- was last seen fleeing southbound on Greenfield from Warren Ave. The victim was not injured, according to police.

Police on Monday released images of the suspect -- wanted on an assault with intent to murder charge -- as well as his vehicle, hoping someone on the public could help to identify him.

Acting on a tip from a concerned citizen on Tuesday, the Dearborn Special Operations Officers located and arrested a man police are calling a "person-of-interest" in the case.

The man's identity is being withheld pending formal charges from the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office.

Dearborn Police Chief Ronald Haddad said in a statement: "As a result of our excellent partnership with local media outlets and with the cooperation of concerned citizens, a swift arrest was made and our communities are safer."
