White SUV shoots up car windows across Chesterfield Township

A white SUV fired at least 11 shots at parked cars in Chesterfield Township, Michigan, during the early hours of Wednesday. The vehicle targeted multiple vehicles along Red Creek Lane, Julies Drive, and Crosscreek Drive, shattering windshields and side windows.

Lisa Birkmeier found her car riddled with holes when she stepped outside around 11:20 p.m. on Tuesday. Her surveillance camera captured the white SUV pulling up to her vehicle and discharging several rounds. Birkmeier said she will pay out of pocket to replace the windshield and two side windows.

Kelle Finn, a Jeep owner on Crosscreek Drive, discovered bullet holes in his windshield the following morning. He initially believed he was singled out for a specific reason. That feeling changed when he learned other vehicles nearby had suffered similar damage. Finn noted the white SUV made a distinct sound consistent with an electric vehicle. His security footage also shows the same vehicle firing at his Jeep.

Chesterfield Township police confirmed that at least four or five calls came in that morning regarding the damage. One car on Julies Drive was hit seven times. A Jeep on Crosscreek Drive had its driver's side window shattered and its windshield marked by shots. Police have not arrested anyone in connection with the incidents.

Both Birkmeier and Finn expressed frustration over the cost of repairs. Birkmeier said she was surprised by the boldness of the driver given the number of surveillance cameras in the area. Finn questioned why someone would choose to have fun at the expense of other residents. He said, 'It's not right.'

Police are asking anyone with damage or information to contact the Chesterfield Township police station. Residents are encouraged to check their own vehicles and review any home or business video footage from the overnight hours.
