Westland police investigate fatal shooting

Westland police continue to investigate the shooting that took the life of a woman and left a man seriously injured.

According to police reports, officers responded to a call at about 2 a.m. June 1 reporting a shooting. When officers arrived on the scene, they found a 32-year-old Romulus man who had suffered a gunshot wound. Subsequent investigation by officers revealed the incident had occurred in the 37000 block of Scottsdale Circle and when officers arrived at that location they discovered a 36-year-old Dearborn Heights woman who also suffered a gunshot wound. 

Officers provided first aid and called for medical help and Westland EMTs transported both the injured subjects to a local hospital for emergency treatments. The Romulus man was reported in stable condition but the Dearborn Heights woman succumbed to the injury and died at the hospital.

Police said the preliminary investigation indicates this was not a random incident and would provide more information as the investigation proceeds. The names of the victims were not disclosed as the investigation continues.
