Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of $1,000 for information leading to an arrest in the drive-by shooting of a 9-year-old boy in Detroit Saturday afternoon.
Police said Malik Cosey Jr. was shot while sitting in a car on the 15400 block of Murray Hill, which is west of Greenfield and north of Fenkell.
According to police, three children, ages 7, 9 and 11, were waiting in a car for their grandmother to come out of the house and take them to the movies.
That's when a silver Dodge Magnum pulled up, a shooter got out and opened fire on two strangers who were running in the direction of the car full of children. Cosey Jr. was struck in the head by a bullet.
He was privately conveyed to Sinai Grace Hospital but later transferred to Children's Hospital in critical condition.
Police have not yet identified any suspects or motive in the shooting.
