Michigan State Police are looking for a person who shot and killed a motorist found behind the wheel Tuesday on M-14 in Ann Arbor Township, they said.

Troopers with the Brighton Post were called at about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday to an area on westbound M-14 at Earhart Road for a report of a person in a vehicle with a gunshot wound. The victim was pronounced dead after troopers arrived, officials said.

Officials closed the freeway at Earhart while they conducted an investigation.

Investigators said it's not clear what led to the shooting but there were indications that another vehicle had been at the same location before they arrived.

Police spoke to witnesses who told them they saw an older, black four-door sedan flee the area. The car's driver was a male and wearing a hooded sweatshirt.

Anyone with information about the shooting or the suspect is asked to call the Michigan State Police tip line at 1 (855) MICH-TIP.
