However, one neighbor felt something was off, stepping outside he saw headlights on a red Chevrolet Equinox that was sitting in the road. Getting in his car, he took a ride to the scene, where he found a body on the roadway. This is when he called 911. The Michigan State Police and Canton Police responded. Kopperick Road was blocked off until early afternoon as police
conducted a thorough investigation.
Neighbors were stunned that the shooting took place in what has always been a quiet middle class bedroom
community Not having answers, residents wondered who the victim was and what happened. However, a friend of the victim did come forward and identified the body. It turns out that the vehicle is registered to the victim and his address is less than a mile from the crime scene.
Canton police have said that there is no further danger to the public As of Wednesday afternoon they had no one in custody.
