Authorities are actively searching for two suspects in Harper Woods, Michigan, following a violent incident that occurred Tuesday morning, July 14, 2026. The event began on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 94 near Vernier, where an undercover Wayne County Sheriff’s deputy attempted to make contact with the driver of a vehicle. The driver allegedly fired shots at the officer, prompting an immediate chase. The pursuit led law enforcement into a residential neighborhood near Peerless and Damon streets, where officers from the Harper Woods Police Department, Wayne County Sheriff’s Office, and Michigan State Police converged to locate the suspects. While the initial suspect involved in the shooting was taken into custody later that afternoon, investigators emphasized that two additional suspects remain at large. Sheriff Raphael Washington issued a stern warning to the public, stating, "They need to understand that we will find them, we are looking for them, and we don't stop until we find them." The sheriff highlighted the severity of the attack, noting that the undercover officer was shot at and could have died, underscoring the department's commitment to apprehending all individuals involved. Residents and drivers in the area of Peerless and Damman streets were urged to avoid the vicinity as the manhunt continued. The eastbound side of I-94 was closed at Moross for several hours due to the incident but has since reopened. No officers were reported injured in the shooting. The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office continues to seek information from the public regarding the whereabouts of the two remaining suspects. Tips can be directed to local law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation.
