13-year-old boy allegedly shoots father, flees in family vehicle with dog, Detroit police say

Detroit police are seeking the public's help in locating a 13-year-old boy accused of shooting his father Tuesday evening.

Cmdr. Dietrich Lever of DPD's Eighth Precinct says that at about 5 p.m., officers responded to a call in the 18000 block of Bretton. A preliminary investigation revealed that the teen allegedly shot at his father twice, striking him in the back, following an "instance of discipline."  

The father's current condition is unknown.

Police allege that after shooting his father, the teen took off in the family vehicle, a Rivian SUV with license plate No. FAX8251, with the family dog, a French mastiff. Lever says the teen was last seen traveling southbound on the Southfield Freeway, heading toward Lincoln Park.

Police say the teen is considered armed and dangerous and urge people not to approach him and to call 911 with information.
