An 18-year-old man was shot during a prom send-off Friday outside a Detroit home, according to Detroit Police Department.

Police said the 18-year-old was allegedly with a group of people standing in front of a home at about 7 p.m. in the 2900 block of Doris, when a man in his 40s came outside.

The man began complaining about the group standing outside of his home, police said, and reportedly produced a handgun.

He then fired several shots, police said, and entered a blue or gray Hyundai car and fled the location.

The 18-year-old was struck by the gunfire, and police said he was privately transported to an area hospital in temporarily serious condition.

Police said the unknown man in his 40s has been described as about 5-foot-11 to 6-feet tall, stocky in build, hair in braids, wearing eyeglasses and a baseball cap.

An investigation is ongoing.
