A 27-year-old man's life came to an abrupt end yesterday morning when he was fatally shot at a Royal Oak Township motel, reported by Michigan State Police. The incident occurred at the Baymont Inn, located on 10900 Eight Mile Road, and was first reported at 10:20 a.m., according to a post on The Detroit News.
Upon arrival, authorities found the young man dead at the scene. In a disturbing twist to an otherwise quiet morning, no other injuries were reported in the shooting.
