OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 07/30/2026 at approximately 12:02 p.m., the Chesterfield Township Police Department notified the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office that officers were searching for a man in connection with a reported felonious assault and an earlier attempt to stop his vehicle. Chesterfield Township police reported that the man may have been armed and experiencing a mental health crisis.
Macomb County sheriff’s deputies located the man driving near 26 Mile Road and Gratiot Avenue. Deputies attempted to detain him, and police reported that he backed his vehicle into a sheriff’s patrol motorcycle. A deputy fired at him during this initial encounter. The man continued driving west on 26 Mile Road while deputies pursued him.
A short distance later, the man stopped his vehicle on 26 Mile Road between Card Road and Broughton Road and got out holding a weapon. The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office reported that he moved toward the deputies. A deputy fired, striking and killing him at the scene. Reporting did not establish whether the same deputy fired during both encounters.
Witness Anna Schwarz said she saw a deputy standing behind an open vehicle door and aiming a weapon. As Schwarz and another person reached the rear of their vehicle, she heard one gunshot and left the area. The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office took control of the investigation.
