Suspect facing charges in Sumpter shooting death
The office of the Wayne County Prosecutor has charged Jordan DeJuan Winn in the death of a Sumpter Township woman last week.
According to police reports, Sumpter Township officers responded to a report of a shooting at about 4:10 p.m. last Wednesday, March 18. Upon arrival at the Edgewood Rive location in the Rawsonville Woods Mobile Home, responding officers discovered a 20-year-old woman lying in the street with a gunshot wound to her upper torso. While emergency lifesaving measures were administered, the woman died at the scene.
Police said the suspected shooter, rumored to be the victim’s boyfriend, was arrested and two other individuals were detained for questioning. The victim and the detainees know each other, according to police who stressed there was no ongoing threat to the community.
Winn was arraigned Sunday on weapons charges including careless discharge causing injury of death. He was given a $10,000 personal bond and required to wear a tether. His next court appearance is set for March 31 at 34th District Court.
