Ann Arbor, MI – An 18-year-old man from Westland was fatally shot Friday afternoon in Ann Arbor, prompting a brief police pursuit that ended with three arrests.
According to Ann Arbor Police Chief Andre C. Anderson, officers responded at approximately 1:15 p.m. to reports of gunfire near Platt and Packard. Preliminary findings indicate the teen sustained multiple gunshot wounds during an exchange of gunfire after exiting a business. He was transported to a hospital in critical condition and later pronounced dead.
The first responding officer, who was in the area conducting Vision Zero traffic enforcement, spotted a vehicle fleeing the scene. Police said the officer engaged in a short pursuit before the suspect vehicle crashed into a tree near Platt and Lorraine.
Authorities quickly apprehended three male suspects in connection with the incident. At this time, no additional suspects are being sought. Police confirmed that no officers were injured during the response.
While the investigation remains ongoing, Chief Anderson said the incident does not appear to have been random. Investigators are still working to determine a motive.
“I want to commend the swift and professional actions of our officers in bringing this dangerous situation under control,” Anderson said. “Our department remains committed to ensuring the safety of our community as the investigation continues.”
