SOLON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Michigan State Police say they tracked down a shooting suspect out of Muskegon Heights, arresting him after an hours-long standoff.
According to a release, troopers attempted to stop a vehicle driven by the suspect around 1:20 a.m. on Tuesday morning, but the man refused to stop. State police coordinated the use of stop sticks on the vehicle.
The suspect's vehicle crashed near the intersection of Algoma Avenue and Wiersma Street in Kent County. The 57-year-old man refused to comply with commands from the Troopers, resulting in a standoff that lasted roughly 3 and a half hours.
In the end, the man surrendered and was arrested.
Muskegon Heights police say the shooting left two people injured. Officers responded to a home on Sherman Avenue near Hoyt Street just before 1 a.m., finding a 48-year-old man with multiple gunshot wounds and a 33-year-old woman who'd also been shot.
Investigators say the two reported the shooter was the woman's ex-boyfriend. Officers used the information from the victims to put out an alert to area officers. The description of the suspect's vehicle led directly to state police tracking down the suspect on Apple Avenue, police say.
Muskegon Heights police saying the suspect faces multiple felonies in connection to the shooting and pursuit.
