Sterling Heights police are searching for someone who allegedly shot two people in a parking lot.
Police said they learned that a suspect fired a weapon at around 1:15 p.m. March 17 in a parking lot at 35500 Van Dyke Ave., near 15 Mile Road, near where a Ruby Tuesday used to be located. Upon arrival, police reportedly found and assisted two female victims, who have since been hospitalized.
Police said they are looking for a suspect who fled on foot. In a press release, they describe the suspect as a Black male, approximately 22 years old, 5 feet, 10 inches, with facial hair. He was reportedly wearing a beige jacket, sweats, a beanie and black shoes that resemble Crocs.
