By Charles Sercombe
Hamtramck police are seeking information about a double homicide that was discovered on Tuesday.
According to the department, a 25-year-old Hamtramck man and a 24-year-old Detroit woman were found dead from a shooting at the Hamtramck Housing Commission at about 9 p.m.
Multiple shell casings were found at the site, suggesting the weapon used was an automatic gun.
The commission is located off the southbound service drive of I-75. The shooting occurred in the back of the housing complex on Oklahoma St.
Police are seeking two black male suspects who fled in a silver or gray newer model Dodge Durango.
The housing commission has numerous security cameras.
Police declined to comment on a possible motive for the shootings, and stress that this is an ongoing investigation.
“At this time, police believe this was not a random incident,” said Police chief Anne Moise in a press release.
Anyone with information about the matter is asked to call (313) 800-5280.
The deaths mark the first two homicides of the year in Hamtramck. The city averages anywhere from two to four homicides each year.
In 2020, there were two separate homicides at the Col. Hamtramck Housing project.
