ROSEVILLE, MI — Michigan State Police are investigating a shooting that happened late Saturday night on eastbound I-94 in Macomb County near Roseville. One person was taken to a hospital after the incident, which shut down part of the interstate for hours while troopers gathered evidence.
The shooting was reported around 11:30 p.m. near 12 Mile Road. By early Sunday morning, the eastbound lanes had reopened, but investigators were still asking for help from anyone who saw what happened or knows anything about it.
Shooting reported near 12 Mile Road around 11:30 p.m.
According to Michigan State Police, the shooting happened in the eastbound lanes of I-94 near 12 Mile Road. The incident took place shortly before midnight Saturday, adding another serious police response to a busy stretch of interstate in Macomb County.
Officials said one person was hurt and taken to the hospital. They did not immediately release the person’s condition, identity or other details about what led to the shooting.
For drivers in the area, the scene meant a sudden shutdown on a major regional roadway. For investigators, it marked the start of an overnight evidence search along the freeway.
Troopers closed the freeway overnight to collect evidence
After the shooting, a section of eastbound I-94 was closed while state troopers looked for evidence. The closure lasted through the night and into the early morning hours Sunday.
That kind of response is common when investigators need to secure a crash or crime scene on an interstate, especially when details are still limited. In this case, police were working to piece together exactly what happened along the roadway near Roseville.
Michigan State Police did not publicly identify any suspects or say whether they were searching for a specific vehicle. The focus Sunday morning remained on collecting information from the scene and from possible witnesses.
Eastbound lanes reopened by early Sunday morning
By early Sunday morning, all lanes of eastbound I-94 had reopened to traffic. The reopening ended the overnight disruption, though the investigation itself was still active.
Drivers heading through the area were able to use the interstate again, but officials continued to treat the case as an open shooting investigation. Police did not say how long troopers remained at the location before the lanes were cleared.
The quick restoration of traffic suggested that the most urgent scene work had been completed. Even so, the facts of the shooting itself remained unresolved as of Sunday morning.
Michigan State Police ask witnesses to come forward
State Police are asking anyone who saw the shooting, or anyone who may have information about it, to contact the department. Investigators said even small details could help them understand what happened on the freeway.
Witness accounts can be especially important in cases like this, where a shooting happens on a major highway and the timeline may be brief. Police often rely on drivers, nearby commuters and anyone with dashcam footage to help fill in the gaps.
Michigan State Police did not provide a public phone number in the information released Sunday, but they directed people with knowledge of the incident to reach out to the department.
What is known so far about the Macomb County case
At this point, officials have confirmed a shooting, one hospital transport, the location near 12 Mile Road, and the overnight closure of eastbound I-94. Those are the core facts released as the case moved into an active investigation.
Police have not said what sparked the gunfire, whether more than one person was involved, or whether the victim was targeted. They also have not released information about any arrests.
The case remains under investigation by Michigan State Police. For now, the public information centers on the location, the time of the shooting and the request for witnesses to help explain how the incident unfolded.
A busy interstate scene in suburban Detroit
I-94 is one of the region’s main travel routes, and the shooting happened in a heavily used corridor in Macomb County just east of Detroit. That made the overnight closure more significant for motorists traveling through the area.
Although the lanes reopened by Sunday morning, the investigation underscored how quickly a violent incident on a freeway can affect traffic and public safety across a broad area. The police response was focused on both the immediate scene and the larger effort to determine who fired the shots.
For now, the incident remains a local freeway shooting with one injured person and an open case. Michigan State Police say they are still working to learn what happened.
