DETROIT—A young man suspected of randomly killing three people on Detroit streets fled when an armed bystander saw him shoot a fourth person and responded with his own gunfire, witnesses told a TV station.
“He scattered like a jack rabbit,” Wallace Pleasant told WXYZ-TV.
Three people were killed over roughly two hours early Sunday. The 19-year-old suspect remained in custody Tuesday while police and prosecutors prepared to file charges Wednesday.
The suspect shot a fourth person, an 80-year-old man who was walking his dog, according to police. He survived.
