The Redford Township Police Department was investigating a home invasion that left one man shot over shoes.
Police said two men broke into a home early Friday morning in the 19900 block of Denby Street. One of them was armed with a handgun.
The homeowner, who asked not to be identified, said the men broke into his home and demanded that his 18-year-old son hand over his new Nike Air Jordan shoes which he had received as a Christmas gift.
The teen wouldn't give up the shoes without a fight. During the struggle, one of the suspects pulled out the handgun and shot the teen's 19-year-old friend.
The suspects fled with a wallet, cash and the Air Jordan shoes.
The victim was taken to a nearby hospital, treated for his wound and released.
The suspects were both described as black and between 16 and 18 years old. One man was described as 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing 150 pounds with short hair and wearing a white T-shirt.
The other man was described as 6 feet tall, weighing 160 pounds and wearing a gray jacket with a hood.
Police said a white, full-sized General Motors pickup truck may have been used by the suspects.
The break-in and shooting did not appear to be random, police said. The victim was probably specifically targeted.
Anyone with information on the break-in and subsequent shooting is asked to call the Redford Township Police Department at 313-387-2551.
Seriously?
