Detroit, MI – The Detroit Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect involved in a non-fatal shooting that left a young man in critical condition Tuesday afternoon.
According to police, the incident occurred on March 3, 2026, at approximately 12:50 p.m. near the intersection of Puritan Avenue and Prevost Street in Detroit. Investigators say the suspect fired multiple shots into a vehicle occupied by a male in his 20s.
