The shooting occurred around 11:30 p.m. when a suspect in a gray Dodge Durango “pulled up to the location and fired shots into the crowd,” police said in a statement. The victim was taken to a hospital where he died from his injuries. Police said that after the shooting, the suspect fled. Police Sgt. Nicole Kirkwood said that circumstances of the shooting and a motive were still under investigation. Detroit Police Chief James Craig said that the “vast majority” of protesters were peaceful, but several police vehicles were damaged and a police command officer was transported to a hospital after being hit with a rock. No other officers were injured. Craig said that he is angry over Floyd’s death, his colleagues in policing all across the nation are angry, and he respects the rights of people to protest. “But I will not stand by and let a small minority of criminals come in here, attack our officers and make our community unsafe,” Craig said. Nine people were arrested, and Craig said that of those nine, seven were from outside of the city of Detroit. “So do us a favor. If you live outside of the city, why don’t you protest in your hometown,” Craig told reporters. “If you do want to come down and make a statement, do it in a peaceful manner.”
