Detroit police are asking the public to help identify a vehicle they say was involved in a non-fatal shooting late on October 11 near Ryan Road and Robinwood Street on the city's northwest side. Investigators say the shooting happened around 11:45 p.m. in that area, and surveillance images captured a dark SUV that detectives now want help tracking down.
The vehicle in question appears to be a black Dodge Journey with visible damage to its rear passenger-side doors and no license plate showing in the images, according to ClickOnDetroit. The images show the SUV's damaged doors and lack of a visible plate.
As CBS News reports, anyone submitting a tip is asked to reference case number 2610120002 so investigators can match the information to the ongoing inquiry. Tips can also be submitted anonymously online at detroitrewards.tv, the outlet notes, giving residents more than one way to come forward without identifying themselves.
How to Report What You Know
People with information are encouraged to contact the Detroit Police Department's 11th Precinct Detective Unit directly at 313-596-1100. Those who would rather stay anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAKUP, the station's report notes.
Detroit Rewards TV is offering a $1,000 reward for tips that lead to an arrest in the case, according to the same account. Investigators have not said whether the SUV's driver or occupants are considered suspects beyond the vehicle's apparent connection to the scene, and no further details about the circumstances of the shooting have been released.
Context Still Developing
Detroit's Police Department tracks non-fatal shootings as part of its broader crime reporting, with city crime statistics listing the category among those counted by victim, though that preliminary data was last refreshed in April and does not speak to this specific case. A separate city dataset logs crime incidents reported across Detroit in 2026, though it likewise does not offer a verified count or trend tied to this shooting.
For now, the case remains open, and police are relying on the public to help close the gap between the grainy surveillance footage and an actual name. Anyone who recognizes the damaged black SUV or has information about the people inside it is urged to come forward.
