DETROIT (DDN) – A Detroit bicyclist was approached and shot to death in broad daylight in what police described as a targeted attack in Detroit’s New Center neighborhood.
riding Tuesday, about 9:30 a.m., four guys surrounded a man riding a bike on Woodward Avenue near Grand Boulevard. The four men surrounded him and shot fire, murdering him in front of Exotic Liquor.
Police stated the four suspects then fled.
According to police, the victim was getting on his bike when a dark vehicle drew up, and four males leaped out and began firing.
