(WXYZ) — Michigan State Police say a Detroit woman was shot while riding in the back of an Uber along I-94 early Friday morning.
According to police, they were dispatched to the area of westbound I-94 and Livernois in Detroit. The freeway closed just after 5:30 a.m.
They say a 34-year-old woman from Detroit was picked up by an Uber driver and she was seated in the back of the vehicle when a dark sedan pulled up on the passenger side and opened fire.
The woman was shot several times, police say, and troopers applied a tourniquet to her leg and transported her to the hospital.
Police said they are still investigating and are speaking to both victims – the woman and the driver – through a translator.
Troopers canvassed the freeway and located several casings.
“Members of our Freeway Investigative Support Team are just starting their investigation.” MSP F/Lt Mike Shaw said. “Currently the motive behind the shooting is unknown, but we hope to narrow that down as we speak with the victims.”
