Searching for a suspect in the attempted murder of a prominent businessman who narrowly survived a daytime ambush outside: Michigan

Authorities in Macomb County, Michigan, are searching for a suspect in the attempted murder of a prominent businessman who narrowly survived a daytime ambush outside his home Tuesday morning.

According to the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO), the shooting occurred at approximately 10:18 a.m. on Oct. 14, as Eddie Jawad was leaving his gated residence on 24 Mile Road near Wellington Valley Drive in Macomb Township.

Investigators believe the gunman had been watching the property for more than an hour before opening fire.

Surveillance video shows the suspect near 24 Mile and Wellington Valley at 8:22 a.m., then entering the property around 9:30 a.m. Lucido said Jawad was grazed by a bullet during the attack but survived.

“Somebody was lying in wait for him,” Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido told Fox News Digital. “They got in there and waited for him, then started shooting at his car on the way out of his driveway. This was broad daylight in a community where families are. He’s lucky he’s alive.”
