In the early hours of Friday, a heated dispute over a parking space outside a blues club in Detroit turned violent, resulting in five individuals being wounded. According to the Detroit Police, the argument began around 2:45 a.m. and escalated into a physical altercation. Assistant Police Chief Charles Fitzgerald informed reporters that during the altercation, one of the involved individuals retrieved a gun from a vehicle and fired shots into the crowd.

Expressing his disappointment, Fitzgerald stated, "When he came back, he brought a gun, as most cowards do. Five people getting shot over a parking spot is just silly to me." The gunman swiftly fled the scene after the shooting. Law enforcement officials discovered seven or eight shell casings in the club's parking lot, but no arrests have been made so far.

Fitzgerald indicated that only one of the shooting victims was directly involved in the initial altercation, while the remaining four were innocent bystanders. All five victims, ranging in age from 33 to 49, were promptly transported to nearby hospitals and are currently in stable condition.

In addition to investigating the violent incident, the police are also looking into why the blues club was still operating after 2 a.m. As stated by Fitzgerald, the establishment does not hold a city permit for extended operating hours.

Authorities continue to search for the suspect involved in the shooting. Meanwhile, the incident serves as a reminder of the dangers that can arise from seemingly trivial conflicts over parking spaces.
