Additional warrant sought for second suspect
Apr. 7, 2009 · 2:40 a.m.
An arrest warrant has been signed for one of the suspects wanted in connection to Friday’s shooting.
Ypsilanti Police Chief Matt Harshberger said the 17-year-old Ypsilanti resident, initially brought in by YPD, was not identified by witnesses as the shooter, but rather another involved party.
Harshberger said the suspected shooter in the incident, which occurred at 6:30 p.m. near the southeast corner of Cross and Ballard streets, has been identified and an arrest warrant is pending.
Police originally reported a suspect had been arrested at the scene and transported to the Washtenaw County Jail. Reports also said the victim, a 32-year-old Ypsilanti resident, was treated for a gunshot wound to his left arm and a flesh wound to the left side of his stomach area at St. Joseph’s Hospital and later released.
However, Harshberger reported Saturday that the warrant had been denied by District Magistrate Thomas Truesdell.
“(Magistrate) Truesdell did not feel we had enough information or facts to obtain a warrant,” Harshberger said,
Harshberger said the victim was re-interviewed and Judge Kirk Tabbey signed the arrest warrant Monday.
“Because the warrant was initially denied by the magistrate, the suspect that had been in custody was released,” Harshberger said Monday. “Now that the warrant was signed by the judge today, we will be going after the suspect.”
Harshberger said he believes an arrest warrant will be issued for the second suspect, whom police believe fired the gun, today.
“We’re moving along,” he said “The investigation is going well.”
