Canton Township, MI A family walk turned into a fatal event last Saturday, when an incident drove a local man to his tragic end. The quarrel started when the man’s daughter touched a neighbor’s mulch pile. The heated exchange escalated, leading to the neighbor allegedly brandishing a firearm.

Fatal Walk in the neighborhood

35-year-old Nathan Morris and his family were enjoying a casual morning walk around the neighborhood when the incident broke out. Their innocent walk was interrupted by an unforeseen confrontation with a neighbor over mulch, according to a statement from a Republican National Committee committeewoman.

The neighbor reportedly brought out a gun and started threatening Morris and his family. Following this alarming incident, Morris sent his family home, staying back to resolve the tension.

Around noon, shots fired

It was close to midday, around 11:50 a.m., when the police received reports of shots fired. Upon arrival at the 200 block of Cornell Street, they found Morris in the street, suffering severe gunshot injuries.

Emergency services rushed the victim to the nearest hospital, but, unfortunately, his injuries were fatal. Morris was declared dead at the hospital.

Police Response and Suspect Arrest

The alleged perpetrator was said to have barricaded himself inside his residence following the shooting. However, after lengthy negotiations, he surrendered and was subsequently arrested by the police. Presently, he is detained at the Wayne County jail as police await potential charges.

Remembering the Victim’s Contributions

In the aftermath of the incident, Morris is remembered fondly for his local roles. He worked as the secretary of the 6th Congressional District Republican Committee, as stated in an official RNC statement.

His sudden and untimely demise has left the community in shock, with many remembering a man dedicated to his family and local causes.
