James David DicksonDetroit police are investigating after a 33-year-old man was shot at a Detroit gas station late Tuesday.
The shooting took place at a gas station on the 21000 block of Fenkell about 11:05 p.m., said Officer Dan Donakowski, a Detroit police spokesman. That's on Detroit's west side, east of Lahser.
