Police find ‘multiple shell casings’ after man reports Lodge Freeway shooting in Detroit

Southfield man not hurt in Monday shooting

DETROIT – Police shut down part of the Lodge Freeway early Monday morning to investigate a shooting in Detroit.

Michigan State Police report that a driver traveling northbound on the Lodge (M-10) made a 911 call at about 1:30 a.m. on Monday, May 29. The driver, a 30-year-old man from Southfield, reported that his vehicle was struck by several bullets on the freeway between Linwood Street and Livernois.

The man was not hit by gunfire, police said.

Part of the Lodge was closed to traffic as police searched the freeway with K-9 units. Investigators reportedly located “multiple shell casings.” The freeway has since reopened to traffic.

Footage from the scene can be seen in the video player above.

The vehicle from which the alleged gunfire came from is described as a dark sedan.

No other information has been provided at this time.
