Man found shot to death on Southfield Freeway ramp Monday morning
DETROIT (FOX 2) - Michigan State Police started the week with a homicide investigation after officers were dispatched to a Metro Detroit highway for reports of a dead body and found a man had been shot and killed on a freeway ramp.
State police found a man's body lying on the ramp from the northbound Southfield Freeway onto I-96 around 3:30 Monday morning.
According to police, a 22-year-old male died after being fatally shot. There were no vehicles left on the freeway, so it's unclear how the victim's body made it to the freeway.
It's also unknown if the shooting took place at the location or the body was left there.
The discovery led to a massive traffic jam as police are diverting traffic at M-39 and Plymouth Road.
