According to the department, the incident was initiated by road rage on Eight Mile Road.
“Just like any other road rage, two vehicles, one was cutting the other one off, brake-checking, making gestures with their hand, and instead of going the opposite direction, this individual followed the other person, and that’s when this ultimately ended up happening,” said Eastpointe Detective Lt. Robert Koenigsmann. “Just a typical, somebody’s upset over somebody else’s driving.”
The incident, which was caught on a nearby Ring doorbell camera, showed the teen — who has been identified as Ty Hale — have an exchange with a 60-year-old man driving a Dodge Ram pickup before being shot and killed.
The driver of the truck was taken into custody. Charges were presented to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office several days later. The Prosecutor’s Office denied a request for a warrant.
