Tenant killed landlord and then shot himself after ongoing dispute
On Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2025, at approximately 8:30 a.m., the Sault Ste. Marie Police and Fire Departments were dispatched to Wood Creek Manor for a report of multiple gunshots having been fired. While en route, responders learned that a man shot himself in one of the hallways of the apartment building. Upon arrival, responders located a man and a woman in the hallway both with gunshot wounds. Both subjects were pronounced dead at the scene.
To secure and preserve the scene, the residents of two of the wings of Wood Creek Manor were temporarily relocated with assistance from the Chippewa County Sheriff's Office Victim Services Unit. The Eastern Upper Peninsula Transportation Authority transported many of the residents to Hearthside Assisted Living facility as a temporary gathering place until lodging could be arranged.
During the ensuing investigation, multiple search warrants were executed with the Michigan State Police Crime Lab being called upon to assist with scene investigation and processing. The investigation determined the man and woman had a landlord-tenant relationship and had been involved in a dispute before the shooting. The investigation also determined that the man shot the woman with a handgun before turning the gun on himself and committing suicide.
Sault Ste. Marie Police and Fire Departments would like to express our sincerest condolences to the families and friends of both subjects during this difficult time. The names of both subjects are not being released. We would like to thank the following agencies for their assistance during and with this incident: Chippewa County Central Dispatch, Chippewa County Sheriff's Office, Sault Tribe Police Department, U.S. Border Patrol, and Michigan State Police.
