Man shot and killed at Detroit gas station on West McNichols, police say
A man is dead following a shooting at a Detroit gas station on West McNichols Road on Monday morning, police said.
Police responded to the Marathon gas station in the 16000 block of West McNichols around 8:49 a.m. Monday for a reported shooting. When officers arrived, they found a man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
The victim was taken to a local hospital, where he later died, police said.
Authorities do not have suspect information at this time, and police have not said what led up to the shooting.
CBS News Detroit spoke to a homeowner who lives just a few feet away from the gas station. The homeowner did not want to appear on camera, but said she heard four loud bangs Monday morning. That's when she realized there had been a shooting nearby.
"It sounded like the garbage truck had dumped the garbage, but too quickly for that. And after that, there were a couple of police cars and a fire engine, and then not too long after that, there was the yellow tape," the homeowner said. "You get familiar with those kind of sounds. And when I heard that, that's when I realized many people were walking down the street, and they were trying to see what was going on. And I heard someone that one of my neighbors walked down and told my son."
