Man, teen accused of stealing four-wheeler and shooting in metro Detroit

WARREN, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) – A 20-year-old man and a 15-year-old man are charged in connection with a carjacking and shooting last month in Warren.

According to the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office, Larry Moses Jr. and a juvenile were arraigned in Warren District Court on charges of carjacking, assault with intent to murder, carrying a concealed weapon and carrying a criminal firearm. Moses is also charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and habitual second offender.

Authorities say on May 31, Moses and the teen went to a home to steal a four-wheeler that was for sale. One of the suspects allegedly pulled out a gun and pointed it at the seller. They then allegedly fled the house with the four-wheel vehicle.

The owner then got into his truck and followed the suspects, who then shot the seller several times.

“Their decision to carjack an innocent victim at gunpoint and then open fire on her reflects a disregard for human life and the safety of our community. We will ensure that they are held accountable for their violent acts and send a clear message that such crimes will not be tolerated,” Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido said in a statement.

A probable cause hearing is scheduled for June 20 and a preliminary examination is scheduled for June 27.
