Police: Masked Gunman Killed Teenager In Detroit While Paramedics Watched
Detroit, Michigan — A masked man ordered paramedics to step away from a teenager who lay bleeding on a stretcher from bullet wounds, then killed him with a shotgun blast to the head, authorities said.
Police on Tuesday searched for the gunman who killed Billie Rutledge, 17, on Detroit's north side.
Investigators said they were trying to determine whether Rutledge was killed because he was connected to, or knew too much about, the March 12 slaying of Shadad Yousif, 45, a businessman who lived on the same street.
Police said two paramedics found Rutledge lying in a driveway early Saturday, bleeding and calling for help. They put him on a stretcher and cut off his clothing to find the gunshot wounds.
But as the paramedics carried Rutledge to the waiting ambulance, they turned and saw a man with a shotgun who said, "Watch out, watch out," police said. The paramedics ran a short distance and heard two shots.
The paramedics were not injured.
