(Detroit Free Press) Michigan State Police is now investigating the Detroit Police officer-involved shooting last month that killed Detric Driver, whose death is sparking criticism from his friends and some Muslim-American groups.
Driver was shot several times during an early morning police raid in his home on Sept. 14 on Detroit’s west side that was carried out in connection with the shooting death in Detroit the night before of a 5-year-old girl, Isabella Coleman, and nonfatal shooting of her mom.
Driver was not the person police were initially searching for, but was armed while on a couch, Detroit Police Chief James Craig said at a recent meeting of the Detroit Police Board of Commissioners.
Some advocates in the Muslim community have raised concerns about the shooting of Driver, also known by his Muslim name, Abdullah Abdul Muhaimin, or Abdullah Beard.
