On April 6 at about 5:54 a.m., Detroit fire crews responded to a vehicle fire at the intersection of 30th Street and Milford Street. According to a criminal complaint, detectives identified a silver 2009 Saturn Vue, which is registered to Redding, as having been driving in tandem with the victim's vehicle about 25 minutes before a 911 call was placed Sunday reporting the burning vehicle. The Saturn was reportedly seen leaving the area shortly after the 911 call. Detroit police later found the Saturn at about 3:45 p.m. Sunday traveling southbound on I-75 near Schaefer Highway. While police attempted a traffic stop, Redding fled officers. Redding allegedly ran two red lights after exiting onto Shaefer and eventually crashed into a median and ran away from his car. He was ultimately arrested by troopers a short distance from his vehicle. While searching the Saturn, investigators reportedly found a "black Smith & Wesson .38 caliber revolver in a brown bag on the front passenger side floor. Investigators also found documents with Redding's name inside a passenger compartment. Officials say Redding admitted that he bought the Saturn after he was released from prison. Redding was previously convicted in February 2011 of carjacking, armed robbery and felony firearm in Wayne County and sentenced to 11 to 22 years in prison. He was paroled on July 9, 2024. Redding has not been charged in connection with the triple homicide. Police have not identified the three victims found in the burning vehicle.

Suspect named in killings of 3 found in burned vehicle in Detroit
A 29-year-old man federal officials charged Monday as a felon in possession of a firearm is a suspect in the killing of two women and a young girl found this weekend, according to a criminal complaint. The victims' bodies were discovered inside of a smoldering vehicle burned beyond recognition on Detroit's west side early Sunday morning after someone called 911. Detectives were able to identify Edward Redding as a suspect Sunday after they matched a silver Saturn Vue registered in his name to the one traveling in tandem with the vehicle set ablaze 25 minutes prior to the 911 call, Timothy Madison, special agent for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and Explosives, wrote in an affidavit. The vehicles were matched through a license plate reader, Madison wrote. Redding didn't have a defense attorney listed in federal court records as of late Tuesday morning. Fire officials responded near 30th Street and Milford Avenue around 5:50 a.m. Sunday to the vehicle fire and discovered the bodies inside, identified by Detroit police as two women and a preteen girl. Madison wrote that the Saturn was also seen leaving the area "no longer driving in tandem with the victim vehicle." Detroit police located the Saturn near River Rouge later that day, but Redding evaded police, Madison said. Shortly after, a Michigan State Police trooper saw the Saturn on southbound Interstate 75. Redding allegedly attempted to evade police again after the trooper tried to pull him over, authorities said. He accelerated, attempted to exit the highway, and drove on the interstate's shoulder, Madison wrote. When he did eventually exit at South Shaefer Highway, he ran two red lights on Fort Street, almost struck a vehicle, and drove erratically into oncoming traffic before the Saturn got a flat tire and Redding lost control of the Saturn and crashed into a median. He tried to escape police once more on foot, but failed, Madison wrote. Redding was apprehended by troopers and a Smith & Wesson .38 caliber revolver was found inside of a brown bag on the front passenger-side floorboard, Madison wrote. Redding was paroled in July 2024 after serving a prison sentence for a 2011 conviction of carjacking, armed robbery, and felony firearm. Redding first told officers he didn't know the gun was in the car and that he fled from police because he was on parole, according to Madison. But he eventually admitted to officers that he saw the gun in the car and that's why he was fled, Madison wrote. "Redding said he was going to give the gun back to whoever put it in his car. He also agreed with detectives that he touched the gun when he tried to push it under the seat, and therefore his DNA would likely be on the gun," Madison wrote in his affidavit. Redding was federally charged with possession of a firearm as a felon. Maria Miller, a spokesperson for the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office, said no arrest warrants have been submitted to the prosecutor in the case of the three dead bodies as of Tuesday morning.

Suspect in homicide of 3 found dead in burning vehicle in Detroit charged with gun crime
A suspect in the murder of three people who were found dead in a burning vehicle in Detroit early Sunday morning has been charged with a gun crime. According to a criminal complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on Monday, Edward Redding has been charged with one count of felon in possession of a firearm. Detroit police said Monday that a person of interest had been taken into custody but did not identify the suspect by name. On Sunday, Detroit fire crews responded to a vehicle fire at the intersection of 30th Street and Milford Street at about 5:54 a.m. Police have not identified the three victims found in the burning vehicle. Redding has a criminal history. He was convicted in February 2011 of carjacking, armed robbery and felony firearm in Wayne County and sentenced to 11 to 22 years in prison. Redding was paroled on July 9, 2024. A criminal complaint compiled by a special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) details how investigators identified Redding as a suspect in the three murders. According to the complaint, detectives identified a silver 2009 Saturn Vue, which is registered to Redding, as having been driving in tandem with the victim's vehicle about 25 minutes before a 911 call was placed reporting the burning vehicle. The Saturn was reportedly seen leaving the area 18 minutes after the 911 call. Officials say Detroit police later located the Saturn in River Rouge, but it was able to evade officers. A Michigan State Police trooper spotted the vehicle traveling southbound on I-75 on the Rouge River Bridge. "The trooper then attempted to initiate a traffic stop on the silver Saturn, however it accelerated away fleeing from the trooper," the criminal complaint said. "The silver Saturn started to take the exit for north Schaefer Hwy, before veering back onto I-75 southbound at the last second, driving through the shoulder to do so. The silver Saturn then passed a car in the right lane by driving on the shoulder and took the next exit for south Shaefer Hwy, driving approximately 50 mph through the tight corners on the exit ramp." Redding allegedly ran two red lights after exiting onto Shaefer and nearly struck another vehicle while turning southbound into the northbound lanes of Fort Street. He eventually crashed into a median and ran away from the Saturn. He was arrested by troopers a short distance from his vehicle. During a search of the vehicle, investigators found a "black Smith & Wesson .38 caliber revolver in a brown bag on the front passenger side floor. Investigators also found documents with Redding's name inside a passenger compartment. While being interviewed by investigators, Redding reportedly said he bought the Saturn after he was released. "Redding initially stated he ran from the police because he's on parole, and claimed he didn't know the gun was in the car," according to the criminal complaint. "However, Redding then later admitted to seeing the gun on the floor of the car and agreed with detectives that the gun was why he fled from the police." Redding told investigators that he planned to return the gun to "whoever put it in his car," and admitted to detectives that he "touched the gun when he tried to push it under the seat, and therefore his DNA would likely be on the gun." Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers of Michigan at 1-800-773-2587 or submit an anonymous tip here . A $5,000 reward is available, and tips can remain anonymous.
