Overview
- The boy allegedly shot his father twice in the back at a Detroit home and then fled in the family’s gray 2026 Rivian with the family dog, police said Tuesday.
- Law enforcement located and took the 13-year-old into custody in Ohio the same day, and another person and the family’s French mastiff were found in the vehicle.
- Detroit police are working with Ohio officials to extradite the youth back to Michigan and say the investigation remains active and preliminary.
- Authorities say the shooting followed an incident of discipline but have not confirmed where the firearm came from or whether it belonged to the father.
- Neighbors say the episode has shaken a normally quiet block and refreshed calls for safe gun storage while the case raises questions about how juveniles are handled across state lines.
