Wayne man accused of shooting in Sumpter Township
According to police reports, the charges stem from an incident reported to Sumpter Township Police at about 11 p.m. Sept. 10.
Officers were dispatched to the 46000 block of Reed in response to a reported shooting. When officers arrived, they found a 40-year-old man who had been wounded by gunfire, once in the left upper chest and another graze wound to his right cheek.
The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment by Huron Valley Ambulance medics.
Investigators determined that the defendant, Dominic Michael McBride, had encountered his former girlfriend and another man at the Emagine Theater in Canton Township. Investigators were told that following contact with the pair, the defendant began following them as they left the theater. The suspect followed the two approximately 18 miles to the residence on Reed where the victim and the suspect had a brief encounter. The couple had called the victim to explain the situation, prompting him to leave the house, police said. After telling the assailant to leave, the shooter allegedly produced a handgun while seated in his vehicle and shot the victim, who was standing in his yard.
Police said the suspect drove nearby to await officers' arrival and was subsequently taken into custody. The handgun believed to be used in the shooting was recovered, police said.
McBride was arraigned in 34th District Court on charges of assault with intent to murder; assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder; assault with a dangerous weapon and felony firearm. He was given a $500,000 or 10 percent bond and must wear a GPS tether. His next court appearance is set for Sept. 24.
