On June 18, 2026, at approximately 1:40p.m., the Sault Ste. Marie Police Department and Sault Ste. Marie Fire Department were dispatched to a residence on Young Street for a report of multiple gunshots having been fired at a residence. While enroute, responders were advised that a man shot himself.

Officers arrived on scene and determined that a nearby residence had been shot multiple times. Officers were able to determine that an occupant of that residence received minor injuries from glass debris. Officers made contact at the other neighboring residences to determine that there were no additional injuries and that there were no additional suspects.

During the investigation, officers were able to determine that there had been a domestic dispute before the shooting.

He was transported to a nearby hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.
