Barricaded gunman surrenders after keeping Detroit police at bay for 4 hours

It took nearly 4 hours for Detroit Police to convince a man to surrender but, after keeping police at bay outside of his home with his child inside with him, police were able to convince him to come out, peacefully.

Police said the man was wanted for shooting and killing another man after an argument on Sunday. Monday morning, police were doing surveillance on him and tried to take him into custody. Police tried pulling him over near Joy and Payton but he fled into the home on Pierson Street.

It’s believed the child is his daughter.

The man’s mom and aunt are working with police to help negotiate a peaceful ending to the standoff.

Residents that live in the area were asked to stay inside while police resolved the situation.
