The St. Clair County Sheriff's Office has charged a suspect in the murder Friday of 45-year-old Lieutenant Joel Wood, a 22-year veteran of the Port Huron Police Department, and the wounding of two civilians.
30-year-old Joshua Michael Bauman of Mount Morris was arraigned and denied bond Saturday.
He faces charges of first degree murder, two counts of attempted murder, first degree home invasion and felony firearms possession.
Bauman will next appear in court September 1.
The St Clair County Sheriff says deputies responded to a report of shots fired with multiple victims shortly before 1am Friday.
They arrived to find a 29-year-old woman and a 57-year-old man, both with gunshot wounds.
Police say the woman had run to the man’s residence and pounded on his door, but the suspect chased her, shot her and shot the neighbour.
The two were transported to McLaren Port Huron Hospital by EMS.
Further investigation led to an apartment in the area where a man was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds.
Deputies determined the victim had been visiting the woman when the attack occurred.
The suspect had fled into nearby woods but was found before 5am and arrested without incident at a gas station on Telegraph Rd. in the city of Southfield.
