The man was taken to a hospital where he died. 

Police said officers arrived at the scene about 6 a.m. They found the victim on the ground outside a home. A weapon was recovered by officers. 

Police are looking for a suspect who was last seen about 5:40 a.m. driving a gray Jeep westbound on Chester Street. 

Police believe the Jeep drove by and shot the victim while he was walking home from the store with a friend. 

No other injuries were reported. 

"It's very troubling because we would hope that people who feel that they've been harmed would rely on police to resolve those particular matters. Unfortunately, that doesn't always happen as you can see today. For whatever reason they felt they needed to shoot at someone," said Detroit police Cpt. Melissa Gardner.
