In November of 2016, a man died by suicide during a confrontation with police in the parking lot. 

Then, in January, the motel was the focus of a human trafficking raid involving several police agencies. A judge later ordered the motel to be shut down, and is now permanently closed.

In 2016 alone, Detroit Police had 115 runs to the Victory Inn for various reports of homicides, assaults and robberies. The motel is right on the Dearborn-Detroit border.
