DETROIT (WXYZ) — Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy has charged a Detroit man in connection with the non-fatal shooting of a 50-year-old man in Detroit.

Jeremiah Devion-James Moore, 38, of Detroit, has been charged with the following:

  • One count of assault with intent to murder
  • One count of assault with intent to do great bodily harm
  • One count of felonious assault
  • One count of carrying a concealed weapon
  • One count of impersonating a peace officer to commit a crime
  • Four counts of felony firearm

December 14, at approximately 2:20 p.m., Detroit police officers were dispatched to a restaurant in the 19300 block of Conant Street on Detroit's Eastside for reports of a shooting.

Once on the scene, officers made contact with the victim who suffered from a gunshot wound to his upper left shoulder. The man was transported to a local hospital after medics arrived to the location.

"While the victim was stopped at a red light at Conant Street and East 7 Mile Road, the defendant pulled alongside him and identified himself as a police officer. When the defendant followed the victim into the parking lot of his business, it is further alleged that a verbal altercation escalated, and Defendant Moore exited his vehicle and shot the victim. The defendant turned himself in to authorities on December 19," said Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy.
