Detroit Police Conclude High-Speed Pursuit With Suspect Taken Into Custody
Detroit, Michigan — Authorities are reviewing a police pursuit that unfolded Thursday in Wayne County after officers identified a suspect wanted in connection with an ongoing homicide investigation near the 12600 block of Livernois Avenue. The situation developed rapidly, prompting a coordinated multi-agency response.
During the incident, the suspect attempted to flee from law enforcement, leading to an extended pursuit across several Detroit neighborhoods. At one point, officials reported that a vehicle was taken from a motorist as the suspect continued to evade officers. The chase later moved into the area of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Cass Avenue, where several vehicle collisions occurred as responding units worked to bring the situation under control.
Michigan State Police confirmed that a trooper was involved in the operation and that officers were ultimately able to stop the suspect and take him into custody. Emergency responders arrived shortly afterward to secure the area, assist those involved, and evaluate any injuries or property damage.
As of now, officials have not released comprehensive details regarding the suspect’s condition, the total number of vehicles affected, or whether any civilians sustained injuries. Law enforcement agencies are continuing to gather statements, review dash-cam and surveillance footage, and assess roadway conditions as part of their ongoing investigation.
The case remains active, and authorities are expected to provide additional updates once verified information becomes available.
