CLINTON TOWNSHIP — An investigation remained ongoing at press time Dec. 3, more than a week after a shooting at The Mall at Partridge Creek left one man injured.

Clinton Township police developed a person of interest during the initial investigation into the Nov. 23 shooting. The suspect was described as black, wearing a green hooded sweatshirt with white flowers, jeans and tennis shoes. He was reportedly last seen fleeing the mall to the west.

No other details had been released at press time.

Police were first informed of the incident at around 7:13 p.m. the day of the shooting as gunshots were reported near the MJR movie theater at the mall. Officers at the mall providing security for the tree lighting ceremony responded to the incident. They located a 17-year-old Mount Clemens resident who was shot. That person was taken to a hospital and was originally said to be in stable condition. Police said the incident began as a verbal altercation and was limited to the theater property.

The Mall at Partridge Creek issued a statement that read, “We are currently working with local law enforcement to gather details on what occurred during tonight’s tree lighting event. Guest and staff safety is our top priority, and we will continue to collaborate with Clinton Township Police Department as they investigate this situation.”

Other agencies involved in the investigation and response included the Sterling Heights Police Department, Macomb County Sheriff’s Office, St. Clair Shores Police Department, Utica Police Department, Chesterfield Township Police Department, the Macomb County Communications and Technology Center, Clinton Township Fire Department, Chesterfield Township Fire Department, Medstar ambulance service and Partridge Creek mall security.
