HARRISON TOWNSHIP (WWJ) -- A Macomb County man is under arrest after shooting and killing his daughter's boyfriend.

Police say that the incident occurred just before 1:00 a.m. on Wednesday at the Prentiss Apartment complex in Harrison Township.


The 66-year-old father shot 43-year-old Jomarr Pye in the chest after he reportedly assaulted his daughter, according to ClickOnDetroit.

Pye had been out with his girlfriend that evening when the assault is said to have occurred. When she returned home to the apartment, she informed her father of the situation, at which time he became involved in an altercation with Pye.

That escalated to gunfire, and when police arrived, the suspect was attempting to revive Pye with chest compressions. He was pronounced dead soon after.

Police then arrested the man, and found the 9 mm handgun that is said to have been used in the shooting at the scene.

The investigation is ongoing, and the man is being detained at Macomb County  Jail without bond.
