What police say

According to court records, officers first connected the vehicle to the shooting after speaking with a suspect. Investigators then found the vehicle later in the evening near Miller and North Porter Street.

Police attempted a traffic stop, but the vehicle fled and a pursuit followed. The chase ended when the Jeep got a flat tire near Sheridan Avenue and Merideth Street, according to the records.

After the crash, officers reported seeing several occupants run from the vehicle on foot while carrying firearms. Two people were detained and taken into custody.

Police have not said which suspect fired the shot that injured the victim.

The investigation

The case appears to have moved from an initial shooting scene to a vehicle identification, stop attempt, chase and arrests within a few hours. That kind of sequence often lets investigators build a timeline from witness accounts, vehicle descriptions, and the movements of people believed to be involved.

When officers say a suspect vehicle was identified, they are usually relying on observations gathered at the scene, statements from people involved, and other investigative work. After a pursuit and crash, officers can also look for firearms, shell casings, clothing, and other evidence tied to the incident.

Authorities are still trying to identify and locate a third suspect. Anyone with information is being asked to contact police, which can help investigators fill in gaps about who was inside the vehicle and what happened before and after the shooting.

What the charges mean

The charges listed in court records include both firearm-related allegations and offenses tied to resisting police and fleeing in a vehicle. In Michigan, a charge is an accusation, not a conviction, and prosecutors still have to prove the case in court.

Felon in possession of a firearm generally alleges that a person prohibited from having a gun had one anyway. Felony firearm is a separate charge tied to having or using a gun during certain crimes. Fleeing and eluding and resisting or obstructing address conduct during contact with officers.

Bond is the amount a judge sets to secure a defendant’s return to court. A cash/surety bond can be posted in cash or through a surety, and the court can impose conditions while the case moves forward.

What happens next

Manuel-Hill and Guerra were arraigned Thursday, which is typically the stage when formal charges are read and bond conditions are set. The case will now move through the normal pretrial process, which can include additional hearings, review of evidence and later court dates.

Police are still looking for the third suspect, and anyone with information is being urged to contact investigators. If that person is identified and arrested, prosecutors can decide whether to file charges based on the evidence gathered in the case.
