Overview
- Police say someone inside a vehicle fired at a Wayne County deputy on I‑94 near the Harper Woods–Grosse Pointe area on Tuesday, July 14, and the deputy was not injured.
- Investigators identified 25-year-old Rajena LaMartique Linson as a person in the vehicle and publicly warned she should be considered armed and dangerous while officers searched for her.
- Detroit police found the vehicle abandoned in Harper Woods and used public tips and investigative work to detain Linson on July 17 on an outstanding aggravated-assault-with-intent-to-murder warrant from a January 31, 2022 attack.
- Ashton James Ruffin, 20, was arrested earlier in the I‑94 case and faces multiple charges including assault with intent to murder related to the shooting, and prosecutors say more evidence will be presented in court.
- The 2022 case tied to Linson alleges a woman was lured to a bar, beaten, struck by a vehicle and left in freezing temperatures; investigators continue to probe the links between that attack, the interstate pursuit and the shooting.
