Customer shot during confrontation with DoorDash delivery driver

LANSING, Mich. (WILX/Gray News) - Police in Michigan say a woman was shot after a confrontation involving a DoorDash driver.

The Blackman-Leoni Township Department of Public Safety said Friday that officers were dispatched to the 200 block of S Rosewood Avenue in Leoni Township around 5:19 p.m. Thursday and found a woman who had been shot.

First responders on the scene provided medical treatment to the victim before she was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police said the incident started as a verbal argument between the woman and a DoorDash delivery driver. The victim received the food order and the driver left the area before turning back around and pulling into a driveway across the street.

The victim walked out into the roadway to obtain further information about the vehicle when an unknown suspect from inside the DoorDash delivery vehicle shot her.

Police said at least two people were in the vehicle at the time of the incident. It’s not immediately clear if the person who shot the woman was the person who gave her the food order.

Police were informed that the suspect vehicle was a Burgundy Jeep that had fled northbound on S Rosewood Ave. The vehicle was later located and is being processed for any potential evidence.

A person of interest has been identified and police are actively searching for that individual.
