Activist and pastor Maurice Hardwick spoke with FOX 2 about what happened Tuesday night, discussing the situation following the shooting.

“Unfortunately, the family is very distraught because I guess the young lady was in the car minding her own business, happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, maybe with the wrong person and someone came up aiming at someone else and bullets don’t have names, and they shot and one of the bullets struck her in critical condition, but she’s passed away, unfortunately,” Hardwick told FOX 2 Detroit.

Police are urging anyone with information about the shooting to come forward. Tips can be directed to the Detroit Police Department’s Homicide Unit at 313-596-2260 or through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAKUP.
