Upon arrival, the trooper came in contact with the male suspect in the front yard of the home. Witnesses saw the suspect and trooper engage in a physical struggle. During the struggle, the trooper pulled out his firearm and shot the suspect striking him once.

A preliminary investigation has revealed that the suspect and one of the homeowners knew each other from a past relationship.
The names of the trooper and deceased suspect are being withheld pending further investigation.
The shooting is being investigated by detectives from the Michigan State Police Sixth District (Grand Rapids) to avoid any potential conflict of interest, a standard policy for law enforcement involved fatal shootings. The trooper involved has been placed on administrative leave.
