Overview
- An argument at an Exxon in Southfield spilled outside and a 47-year-old man was shot twice, then hospitalized with non-life-threatening wounds.
- Officers arrested 21-year-old Jeremiah Clemons during a traffic stop near the Lodge Freeway and Evergreen after identifying him from station video.
- Investigators executing a warrant at his home recovered a firearm magazine and ammunition they believe came from the gun used in the shooting.
- Detectives say Clemons dismantled the handgun, buried the barrel and slide in a Detroit vacant lot, and gave the lower frame to a homeless man.
- Clemons was arraigned on assault-with-intent-to-murder and weapons charges, received a $250,000 cash-surety bond with GPS tether if posted, and ATF is working to trace the gun’s origin.
