Detroit Police Kill 20-Year-Old While Executing East-Side Search Warrant

Authorities are seeking a 17-year-old person of interest as police continue an active investigation

Overview

  • Detroit officers shot and killed a 20-year-old during a search-warrant service Wednesday afternoon in the 19000 block of Moross Street after police say the man fired a single shot at them.
  • Officers had cleared two women and a child from the home before they encountered a locked bedroom where the shooting occurred, and no officers were injured.
  • Police tied the warrant to a May 23 incident in which someone allegedly fired into a Waltham Street home and said they are still searching for a 17-year-old who is a person of interest.
  • A large police presence remained at the scene as investigators continued their work and the department asked the public to call Detroit Police with tips at 313-596-5900.
  • Officials have not released the identity of the person killed and describe the case as an active, developing investigation with further updates expected.
