Family: I-96 murder-suicide suspect had brain tumor

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) – The daughter of the man who police say shot two women in his SUV before turning the gun on himself says her father had surgery on a brain tumor one day before the deadly incident along I-96.

David and Lisa Somers, both 51, were found shot dead near their SUV Saturday night after police responded to a motorist assist call along I-96 near the Nash Highway exit in Ionia County. Lisa Somers’ daughter, Amedy Dewey, 18, was also shot but survived. As of Monday, she was in critical but stable condition.

Ionia County sheriff’s investigators said they believe David Somers shot the women. A shotgun was found near his body on the scene, officials said.

The news stunned the family members of those involved, including David Somers’ only child — his daughter, Shelbi Somers, 23.
