Fight over woman leads to deadly hit-and-run in restaurant parking lot: police
DETROIT (FOX 2) - Police say a man was killed overnight after a dispute in the parking lot of a restaurant on Detroit's west side. We're told the dispute was over a woman.
Police say two men inside the 8 Mile Grill on Eight Mile near Livernois got into a fight around 3:30 a.m. Tuesday. They took the fight outside to the parking lot, where one of the men is alleged to have eventually gotten into his truck and run over the other man, killing him.
The suspect sped off in a burgundy Ford truck, possibly a 2015 model. Right now police are still looking for the driver, who they say is in his 40s. He's said to have had a female passenger in the truck with him.
The victim was a 58-year-old man, who's not yet been named. Police say he still had his food in his hands when they arrived on scene.
"It was senseless. He was a good guy; I know him for all my life and for something like this to happen, it's crazy," Dave Lampkin told us. He works at the restaurant.
Right now police are looking at surveillance video in the area.
