The Ann Arbor Police Department is investigating a shooting that occurred at about 1:20 p.m. Friday near the intersection of Platt Road and Packard Street. Three suspects are in custody.
According to AAPD’s post to X, one victim suffered a gunshot to the head, was unresponsive at the scene and transported to the hospital. At 7:30 p.m., AAPD announced the victim, an 18-year-old boy, had died.
Officers pursued a red Chevy Malibu with tinted windows after the shooting. The vehicle crashed into a tree near Lorraine Street and Platt Road before one suspect fled on foot. Police said a fully automatic weapon was recovered.
Nearby schools were briefly placed on lockdown as a precaution but the order has since been lifted. In their statement on X, AAPD wrote that although they are still investigating the suspect’s possible motive, they believe the incident was not random.
In an email to The Michigan Daily, AAPD spokesperson Chris Page wrote that the department will provide an update when more information is available.
“Investigation remains active,” Page wrote. “More info to follow.”
