One suspect dead after robbery attempt in Roseville spirals into shootout
After two men tried robbing someone at a Roseville car wash, the victim pulled out a gun and began shooting at the suspects, killing one. It's unclear if the other man got away or was taken into custody by police.
When one suspect produced a handgun and tried robbing the man, a Roseville resident, the victim pulled out his own handgun and fired at the suspects.
The gunfire wounded the teen, a resident of Detroit. He was later pronounced dead at a hospital. Roseville Police say the second suspect fled the scene on foot and are asking the public for any help identifying him.
The scene happened at 26015 Gratiot Ave.
The victim has a concealed pistol license and was released from officers after a preliminary investigation.
