Blackman-Leoni Department of Public Safety says a Jackson County DoorDash customer was shot Thursday afternoon following an argument with a DoorDash delivery person.
Neighbor Denny Heie was at a bit of a loss for words: "With that happening — I was worried."
Officers responding to the incident just after 5 p.m. December 26 and say they found a woman with a gunshot wound by the side of the road on the 200 block of South Rosewood Avenue in Leoni Township.
Police say the shooting occurred after the victim received a food order, and the driver had left the area but then returned, pulling into the driveway across the street.
According to investigators, the victim then walked out to the roadway to get information about the delivery vehicle and was then shot by an unknown suspect from inside the DoorDash delivery vehicle.
The officers provided medical attention, and the woman was transported by ambulance to a local hospital in Jackson, according to a release from the Blackman-Leoni Department of Public Safety.
The victim is reported to be in stable condition, and the wound is not life-threatening.
Police say they have determined that there were at least two people in the vehicle at the time of the shooting. The vehicle was reported to be a Burgundy Jeep.
A person of interest has been identified, and attempts are underway to locate the individual.
