Apparently it was a lawyer who is believed to have been targeted by one of his prior clients. The client must not have gotten the "justice" he thought he deserved and so took out his own form of "justice".

Sources this morning confirmed that investigators have targeted a suspect and believe a pipe bomb was used to blow up a car in which local attorney Erik G. Chappell and his sons were riding Tuesday.
"They have a suspect in mind," the police source said.
Investigators used metal detectors as they collected evidence from the scene Wednesday afternoon on E. Elm Ave. near I-75. It is believed a pipe bomb packed with shrapnel was used and placed inside the car underneath the passenger seat where one of the boys was sitting.
Meanwhile, shock, dismay, anger and disbelief resonated throughout the community after the news of the car bomb indicated a sinister plot against Mr. Chappell and his family.
The suspect is believed to be one of Mr. Chappell's clients.
Federal and local investigators are working on leads but have not made any arrests since the explosion Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Chappell was hurt but his two sons, aged 11 and 13, suffered the worst injuries. A $10,000 reward has been offered.
