From Howell Police Chief Michael Dunn:

Shortly before 5:30 p.m. on Friday, June 28, officers from the Howell Police Department responded to the 100 block of W. Grand River Ave. for a complaint of threats at a local business.

Officers arrived and found a white man deceased inside the business from a gunshot wound. Officers immediately arrested a subject on scene. The scene has been secured and is expected to be an active crime scene for several hours while the investigation is conducted.

We would like to emphasize that there is currently no threat to the public. This incident did not occur near the Balloonfest event and is in no way related to the event.

This is an isolated incident and everyone involved is currently cooperating with the investigation. We ask that no one go to the scene to give investigators time to carry out their investigation.

The Howell Police Department is assisted by the Livingston County Sheriff's Office, Green Oak Township Police Department, Hamburg Township Public Safety Department and the Howell Area Fire Department.

No additional information will be released at this time as this is an active investigation. As information becomes available, additional press releases will be issued.
