Photo by Ypsilanti Police
Ypsilanti Police have released this photo of the man wanted in the homicide investigation stemming from the shooting near Leforge Road early Monday morning.
Poster sent out for man wanted in murder investigation
Jan. 9, 2009 · 9:21 a.m.
Ypsilanti Police have issued a poster and artist’s rendering of the man wanted in connection with the shooting of a Fowlerville man early Monday morning.
The poster was issued at 9 a.m. this morning; it will be posted in the Ann Arbor News and the Detroit News, according to Detective Jill Kulhanek. The poster features the drawing and a description of the suspect from the incident.
The unnamed suspect is said to be involved in the death of Michael James Roy, who was shot twice during what police are calling “a drug related issue gone bad” at the 800 block of Green Road, off of Leforge Road.
Police responded to the call at 12:18 a.m. Monday morning. They arrived on the scene and found Roy dead in a hallway inside an apartment, according to reports from the Ypsilanti Police department. After further investigation at the scene, police discovered that a small amount of marijuana was stolen.
The poster says the suspect is armed with a .357 caliber semi-automatic handgun. Ypsilanti Police Chief Matt Harshberger said shell casings recovered at the scene match those that would be fired by this type of firearm.
The suspect in the shooting is described as a male in his 20s with scruffy facial hair, 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 5 inches in height, wearing a tan Carhartt jacket, tan boots and a baseball cap. Anyone with information related to the shooting is asked to call the Ypsilanti Police Department at 734-483-9510.
