Dearborn Police Corp. Dan Bartok said officers were called to the apartment complex around 2:50 a.m. When they arrived, they spoke with a woman who said a man had assaulted her and fired shots. She was not shot, but did suffer minor injuries to her face from the assault.
The suspect, later identified as Jones, fled, and police believed he may have been barricaded inside a home at Fairlane Woods. However, when police cleared the building later in the morning, they did not find him.
"We've deployed all of our assets at the scene," Bartok said.
This includes drones, the SWAT Team, and more.
Anyone who knows where Jones may be is asked to contact 911.
