An Ypsilanti Township man is in stable condition after being shot in the stomach early Sunday while he was at a party in Ypsilanti, police said in a news release.
Police were dispatched around 1:50 a.m. Sunday to the 800 block of Green Road in Ypsilanti to the report of shots fired with potential victim. When they arrived, officers were told that the victim, a 21-year-old Ypsilanti Township man, had been transported to the hospital by friends.
During their investigation, officers learned that a party had taken place in one of the apartments where two people got into a verbal argument. The argument escalated to a point where the suspect pulled a black revolver and fired a shot through the residence, which struck the victim in the stomach. Police said the victim and the suspect did not know each other.
The suspect fled before officers arrived. The suspect is described as a black man in his early 20s with a light complexion, about 6'2", wearing blue jeans and a blue hooded sweatshirt.
The investigation continues, and anyone with additional information is urged to call Det. Sgt. Thomas Eberts at 734-482-9878 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAKUP.
