Michigan State Police had been actively pursuing Hill since Monday, September 11, following the shooting. Authorities have not released the identity of the victim yet.
Detroit Police Chief James White recounted the arrest, detailing how a city cop noticed Hill. "He recognized him from the media reports the pictures and then the intel pictures we had," the chief said.

"If you will kill your mother, you’ll do anything," said Inkster Police Chief Bill Ratliff.
Joshua Hill found armed at the time of his apprehension
