Southfield Gas Station Shooting Suspect Charged After Police Recover Buried Gun Parts

Police say the shooter dismantled an unregistered gun to hinder the probe.

Overview

  • An argument at an Exxon in Southfield spilled outside and a 47-year-old man was shot twice, then hospitalized with non-life-threatening wounds.
  • Officers arrested 21-year-old Jeremiah Clemons during a traffic stop near the Lodge Freeway and Evergreen after identifying him from station video.
  • Investigators executing a warrant at his home recovered a firearm magazine and ammunition they believe came from the gun used in the shooting.
  • Detectives say Clemons dismantled the handgun, buried the barrel and slide in a Detroit vacant lot, and gave the lower frame to a homeless man.
  • Clemons was arraigned on assault-with-intent-to-murder and weapons charges, received a $250,000 cash-surety bond with GPS tether if posted, and ATF is working to trace the gun’s origin.
