Detroit Police Department Chief James White said that the shootings appear to be “random” and said that there doesn’t appear to be a relationship between the crime and the victims.

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan said that the Michigan State Police, Federal Bureau of Investigations, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are assisting in the search.
