As reported by ClickOnDetroit, police say the man taken into custody is the victim's son, who was detained at the home while investigators processed the area late into Thursday. The report, filed as breaking news by Brandon Carr, noted that officers had not shared any additional details about what led up to the shooting or what might have sparked the violence inside the residence.

Investigation And Next Steps
Police have not publicly confirmed any criminal charges. If charges are brought, the case will be reviewed and handled by the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office. According to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office, prosecutors examine investigative reports submitted by local law enforcement before deciding whether to file charges, and they coordinate notifications and services for victims. Any formal case would then move through the county court system.

According to the site, people can reach the department by phone or use online forms to share information about crimes and public safety concerns.
