Sumpter man shot in chest, cheek in his front yard on Reed Road

On Sunday, Sept. 7, at about 11 p.m., Sumpter Township Police responded to the 46000 block of Reed on the report of a shooting.
According to a posted media release, upon arrival, officers found the victim, a 40-year-old male resident, had been shot twice, once in the left upper chest, and a graze wound to the right cheek. He was transported to the hospital by HVA.
The investigation revealed that the incident leading up to the shooting started at the Emagine Theater in Canton when the defendant, a 22-year-old male from Wayne, had contact with his ex-girlfriend and another man and began following them from the theater.
The media release said the suspect followed the two about 18 miles to the residence on Reed, at which point the victim, whom the couple had called to notify him of what was occurring, exited the residence, telling the suspect to leave.
After a brief encounter, the suspect allegedly produced a handgun while seated in his vehicle and shot the victim, who was standing in his yard.
The suspect drove nearby to await officers’ arrival and was subsequently taken into custody. The handgun believed to be used in the shooting was recovered.
The defendant, Dominic Michael McBride, was video-arraigned in custody on Sept. 10 in 34th District Court on the following charges approved by the Wayne County Prosecutor’s office:
• Assault intent to murder;
• Assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder;
• Assault with a dangerous weapon (felonious assault); and
• Felony firearm.
His bond is set at $500,000/10%.
A probable cause conference was set for Sept. 24 and a preliminary exam for Oct. 1. He is not to be released without a GPS tether from Wayne County’s tether program and is to have no contact with the three complainants and witnesses.
