Mother shot during carjacking outside Oakland County strip mall, man arrested after police chase

A woman is seriously hurt after being shot during a random carjacking outside a shopping plaza in Orion Township. The shooting happened at around 5:45 p.m. on Tuesday, May 20, outside Baldwin Commons Plaza near Baldwin and Brown roads. According to Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard, investigators believe a 25-year-old Ann Arbor man had been sitting outside watching for a victim before targeting the woman, who was walking through the parking lot with her young son. “It looks very random,” Bouchard said. “It looks like he was sitting here looking for someone that would be his victim to steal their car.”
