MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, Mich. (via WOOD TV) — Police say a husband and wife fighting over smoking precipitated an early morning homicide in Muskegon Heights.
The shooting happened at around 6:40 a.m. in the 3100 block of Mona Street in Muskegon Heights, the city’s police chief Joseph Thomas told 24 Hour News 8.
Investigators say a husband and wife were engaged in a fight several hours before the shooting after the husband showed up at the home with cigarettes when the two had agreed they would quit smoking.
The fight escalated and the husband packed belongings and left the home, Thomas said.
Hours later he returned to the home and shot the wife four times in the chest, Thomas said. As of early Sunday afternoon the alleged perpetrator had not been arrested. Thomas declined to release details about the active search but said a “task force” was working to locate the man.
“We’re going to be dogmatic looking for this husband,” Thomas said.
The names of the individuals involved were not immediately released.
