Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham detailed the work investigators did over several days to eventually find the suspect. They used traffic cameras and found out that the suspect had a stolen plate on the Ford Escape he was seen leaving the area in.
Eventually, police found the suspected vehicle with a regular plate on the car and were able to match it due to different scuff marks, brake dust and even bird poop that was seen on the vehicle at the time of the shooting.
According to Wickersham, the sheriff's office worked with Warren police, Eastpointe police and the FBI violent crimes and gang task force.
“A total effort of law enforcement at every level to get this individual in custody," Wickersham said.
According to the sheriff's office, the suspect borrowed the vehicle from a family member.
Lucido said that the suspect was on parole out of Ohio for armed robbery, kidnapping and assault with a dangerous weapon.
