Detroit's Most Wanted: Timothy Wright

Posted

At 3 p.m. on June 16, it was business as usual at the BP Gas Station on Grand River. That is, until police say 35-year-old Timothy Wright walked in.

Detroit Police Homicide Detective Gary Przybyla said Wright was hunting for 25-year-old DeAngelo Turner.

"His main objective was to go in there and kill someone," Przybyla said.

Several people, including children, were inside the gas station when Wright went in, pulled out his weapon and shot Turner, killing him.

Surveillance video from the incident can be seen above. It was the last time Wright was reported to have been seen.

Homicide has been working around the clock to catch Wright, because they say he is capable of striking again.

"This guy is armed and dangerous and we already know he doesn't have any problem firing a gun and killing somebody," says Detective Pryzblya.

If you have any information about Wright, or know where he may be, please call Detroit police or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP.
