DETROIT — Five people were wounded early Friday after what Detroit police say was a dispute over a parking space outside a blues club.
The argument started about 2:45 a.m. and had become physical when one man involved pulled a gun from a vehicle and fired shots into a crowd, Assistant Police Chief Charles Fitzgerald told reporters.
“When he came back he brought a gun, as most cowards do,” Fitzgerald added. “Five people get shot over a parking spot is just silly to me.”
The gunman then drove away. Seven or eight shell casings were found in the parking lot. No arrests have been made.

Fitzgerald said it appears only one of the shooting victims was involved in the fight. The others were bystanders. All five, ranging in age from 33 to 49, were hospitalized in stable condition, he added.
Police also are looking into why the club still was open for business after 2 a.m. It doesn’t have a city permit for extended hours, Fitzgerald said.

Ford Motor has recalled about 870,000 F-150 pickup trucks because of a faulty parking brake that could turn on by itself, causing the driver to lose control.
The recall includes 2021 to 2023 models of the F-150, according to recall documents posted Friday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Damages in the wiring of some F-150s could activate the truck’s parking brake while someone is driving, causing them to lose control of the vehicle and crash.
Drivers of trucks with the brake issue may see a warning light on their vehicle’s panel, NHTSA documents show.
The Michigan automaker said it would fix the issue by installing a protective tie strap and tape wrap on the brake wiring as well as replacing the rear axle wiring harness if necessary for free at Ford and Lincoln dealerships. Drivers who have already paid a mechanic to fix the problem can be reimbursed by submitting paperwork to Ford by September 11, 2024.
Ford recall under investigation
00:22
Initial investigation goes back to February
The recall comes after Ford started investigating the parking brake issue in February, the company said. The “initial investigation determined that the damaged wiring is part of a rear axle wiring harness assembly that contains wires for the rear electric parking brakes and other electrical components,” according to Ford documents.
“The rear axle wiring harness bundle may contact the rear axle housing which can, in certain circumstances, result in chafing of the wiring harness bundle,” Ford said. “Further investigation determined that, over time, the chafing of the rear axle wiring harness assembly can wear through the abrasion resistant tape and circuit insulation, ultimately exposing copper wiring which can result in the grounding of circuits on the rear axle housing.”
Ford said in the documents that it has 918 warranty claims and three field reports of wire chafing in North America. Of these, 299 indicated unexpected parking brake activation, and 19 of these happened while the trucks were being driven. The company said it doesn’t know of any crashes or injuries caused by the problem.
Earlier this week, Ford reported $1.92 billion in second-quarter profits and a $1 billion in losses from its electric vehicle division. Ford expects its full-year losses on electric vehicles to be around $4.5 billion, up from $3 billion in a previous estimate.
Ford recalled more than 142,000 Lincoln MKCs last month because the SUVs might be prone to spontaneous fires in the engine compartment. The MKC’s battery monitor sensor, which is housed under the hood, is susceptible to damage when repairs are made to the vehicle’s battery or other electrical parts, Ford said.
Anyone with questions about the F-150 recall can contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332 and use reference number 23S35 or NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236.
