OSHTEMO TOWNSHIP, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The suspect in murder of a woman and the assault of another man in Kalamazoo County’s Oshtemo Township early Saturday morning is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday.
The Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Office says the homicide occurred shortly before 3:30 a.m. at the Mt. Royal Apartments.
Deputies were dispatched after a neighbor reported what sounded like a disturbance followed by gunfire. Upon arrival, deputies located a male
subject who reported being assaulted and witnessing the murder of his girlfriend. The male victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment of his injuries.
Throughout the weekend, the Sheriff’s Office says detectives conducted numerous interviews, reviewed security camera footage from the area, and executed search warrants related to the incident. Crime scene technicians photographed and processed the scene, collecting key evidence in the ongoing investigation.
They says as a result of the investigative efforts, a suspect was quickly identified, located, and taken into custody. That individual is currently lodged at the Kalamazoo County Jail pending arraignment, which is scheduled to occur by video Tuesday, October 7 in the 8th District Court. His identity won’t be released until after the arraignment.
The Sheriff’s Office says due to the sensitive nature of the case and out of respect for the family, the name of the victim is not being released at this time.
