Investigators outside Detroit found human remains in the trunk of a vehicle after a chase ended in a fatal shooting, police say.
The grisly discovery was made Sunday afternoon in Dearborn, Michigan, after local police attempted to “stop a vehicle that was involved in an endangered missing person investigation,” according to Michigan State Police.
Authorities say Dearborn police first pursued the vehicle before losing it, then “an accident scene was located a short distance from where officers lost sight of the vehicle.”
“As Dearborn officers approached the scene of the accident, there was an exchange of gunfire between the officers and the suspect,” Michigan State Police said.
