Police Kill Suspect Linked to Inkster Club Shooting After Pre-Dawn Trenton Confrontation

State police are reviewing evidence before referring the case to prosecutors.

Overview

  • Inkster police issued a BOLO for a gray 2022 Ford Edge after a security guard was shot in the abdomen at Bogart's Lounge.
  • Investigators say the suspect’s vehicle was located at the Bristol Hills Apartments in Trenton around 2:30–3:00 a.m., where officers confronted the 37-year-old.
  • Trenton police report the man produced a firearm before officers fired, killing him, and no officers were injured.
  • The Michigan State Police Second District Special Investigation Section is leading the probe, has finished on-scene work, and is sending evidence to the lab with medical reports pending.
  • Four Trenton officers were involved and placed on paid leave as the victim’s mother disputes the police account, saying he did not have a gun drawn; police say a gun was found in the car, and the Inkster guard remains in critical condition.
