At about 4 a.m. Thursday, a state trooper was on patrol when he found the white BMW on the shoulder on westbound I-696 near Southfield Road. State police said when the trooper checked the vehicle, he observed several bullet holes in the car.

Police said a trail of antifreeze leading to the BMW showed that the shooting did not take place where the car was located. At the time, state police said it did not find anyone associated with the vehicle.

“A check of local hospitals and police departments did not reveal a victim or incident,” MSP officials said.
