The Warren Police Department is seeking information from the public following a shooting incident at Veterans Memorial Park that has left one man in critical condition. According to Audacy, the event unfolded on Saturday evening, around 7:40 p.m., when officers responded to multiple reports of gunfire in the park's parking lot.
Upon arriving at the location on Campbell at Martin, near the intersection of M-53 and 11 Mile, police discovered a man who had been shot several times in his arms and legs. The victim was promptly transported to the hospital by the Warren Fire Department, where he was listed in critical condition. As the investigation unfurled, authorities gathered that two men had approached a white sedan in the park and had a conversation with its occupants before an ensuing altercation led to the shooting, "several shots" fired as the men attempted to flee, according to a statement obtained by Audacy.
The shooters, who were in the white sedan, fled the scene heading north on Campbell. The investigators, who have not released information about the victim or the number of suspects involved, have indicated that this was likely not a random incident. "At this point, investigators do not believe this was a random incident," police said, as Audacy reported.
In their search of the vicinity, the police came upon a handgun, spent shell casings, and additional evidence tethered to the shooting. The City of Warren Police Department's Facebook page relayed the preliminary details of the incident, urging those with photos or video capturing the event to contribute to the ongoing investigation through their evidence submission portal.
Those holding potential insight into the events of that evening, or possessing relevant photographic or video evidence, are being asked by the Warren Police Department to step forward. Information can be relayed to Detective Rose by calling (586) 574-4793 or sending an email to [email protected]. Police emphasize the significance of public collaboration in piecing together the narrative of what transpired in Veterans Memorial Park, an appeal echoed across publications like Audacy and City of Warren Police Department's Facebook page.
