Detroit police fatally shot a man after a car and foot chase on the city’s west side this afternoon.
Police said they began pursuing a man in a car before it lost control and struck a utility pole.
According to police, the suspect fled on foot before he and an officer ended up in a scuffle behind an abandoned home. That’s when the officer pulled the trigger at Ostego and Webb, police said.
