New Details In Troy Officer Shooting

TROY, MI — A Detroit man was listed in stable condition after he was shot by a Troy officer while trying to flee a traffic stop in a stolen car Tuesday, police said.

A license plate camera captured the stolen car, which was taken from a Southfield car dealership on Nov. 6, and alerted officers at 3:15 p.m., police said.

Moments later, officers found the stolen car stopped at a traffic light and tried boxing-in the car on East Big Beaver, just west of Daley near Rochester Road in Troy, police said.

The driver of the stolen vehicle then began to ram his way out of the attempted box-in, driving straight toward an Officer who had exited his vehicle to make an arrest, police said.

As the car drove toward him, the officer fired five shots, striking the driver one time in the upper body, police said.

The car continued moving a short distance before crashing into another vehicle, police said.

Officers then arrested the driver and a passenger in the stolen car, police said.

The driver, a 25-year-old man from Detroit, was taken to a nearby hospital where he remains in custody and in stable condition, police said.

The passenger, a 20-year-old man from Detroit, was treated for minor injuries he suffered in the crash, police said. He was placed in jail on two active felony warrants from other local jurisdictions, police said.

Officials were still investigating the incident and working toward securing additional charges, police said.
