A 29-year-old man is dead after an argument over elevator etiquette ended in gunfire, Michigan police say.
The shooting happened overnight on Sunday, Nov. 28, on the eighth floor of a building on Detroit’s south side, in the Greektown neighborhood, Police Chief James White said at a news conference.
Around 2 a.m., the victim got onto an elevator but apparently failed to hold it for another man, White said. This led to an argument and the man pulled out a gun and shot the 29-year-old to death.
White called the incident “absolutely ridiculous.”
Surveillance cameras captured video of a “person of interest” in the killing, and police are asking anyone who recognizes the man to contact investigators at 313-596-2260 or 1-800-speak-up.
