Dearborn Police investigating fatal shooting on Dearborn-Detroit border
Published Feb. 22, 2025
Dearborn Police are actively investigating a road rage incident that became fatal, killing a 19 year-old-female driver from Dearborn Heights. At approximately 9:45 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 21, 2025, Dearborn Police Officers responded to the intersection of Tireman Ave and West Morrow Circle following reports of shots fired at a vehicle.
Per an initial investigation, Dearborn Police believe the incident followed a road rage situation that occurred earlier in the evening near Warren Ave and Southfield Fwy. Police evidence shows a white 2015 Chrysler 200 cutting off a black 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee being driven by the victim. The victim then followed the Chrysler onto Tireman and Southfield Service Dr, in what police believe was an effort to obtain the license plate information for the vehicle.
As the vehicles reached the intersection of Tireman and West Morrow Circle, the suspect vehicle turned north onto Cheyenne St and fired several gunshots at the victim’s vehicle. One of the bullets entered the victim’s vehicle through the windshield, fatally striking the driver. Police pronounced the victim deceased upon arrival. Two female passengers in the victim’s vehicle were found physically unharmed following the incident.
Three persons of interest are currently in Dearborn Police custody. Police are urging the public to provide additional information relevant to this incident.
Dearborn Police Chief Issa Shahin stated, “We are shocked and disturbed by this completely senseless act of violence that has shattered our community. Dearborn Police will continue to investigate this horrific incident and bring the suspected perpetrators to justice. We urge those with information about this crime to come forward.”
Dearborn Mayor Abdullah H. Hammoud added, “Our thoughts are with the loved ones of the victims who are mourning this tragic loss and undoubtedly, will be forever scarred by this incident. This is a tremendous and traumatic loss for the greater Dearborn community. I thank the Dearborn, Detroit, and Michigan State Police officers who responded and assisted at the scene on Friday evening. I have full faith that our police department will dutifully investigate this incident and bring those involved to justice.”
