Detroit, Michigan



From the November 12, 2003, Detroit Free Press:
Valet kills man who attempted to rob him



A parking valet at Cheetah's On The Strip adult entertainment club shot and killed a 29-year-old man who tried to rob him with a fake gun early Tuesday.



Detroit police said the pellet gun looked real and the robber pointed it at the valet before the valet shot him.



Sgt. Paul Jones of the department's homicide section said the valet was in the club's parking lot on 8 Mile at 3:30 a.m. when a man stuck a gun in his face, demanded money and car keys.



After a struggle, the robber took off running, turned around and pointed the pellet gun at the valet while running, Jones said. The valet fired with his .40 caliber handgun, striking the Detroit man in the back.



...



The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office will determine whether the valet will face criminal charges.
