Police looking for Greektown shooting suspect who killed 29-year-old man

Detroit police say a suspect shooter gunned down a 29-year-old man who wouldn't hold the elevator door open at location on Monroe Street in Greektown.

Among the shootings that Detroit police responded to over the weekend was one incident on Monroe Street in Greektown where a confrontation over an elevator turned deadly.

Detroit police say a dispute over one individual not holding an elevator for another escalated to a fatal shooting early Sunday morning. The victim was identified as a 29-year-old man.

Chief James White called the shooting "absolutely ridiculous" and another example of people failing to use problem-solving skills and instead resorting to violence.

"Someone wouldn't hold an elevator door and was ultimately shot," he said during a Monday press conference.
