7/15/14 - It appears it was a Howell man that was wanted in connection with a stabbing incident in Ypsilanti who later took his own life on a local freeway. Dispatchers issued a be-on-the-lookout advisory shortly after a stabbing incident Monday afternoon at Mike's Welding and Fabrications on Ecorse Road. A Northfield Township police officer noticed a vehicle matching the description provided and attempted to stop the 46-year-old Howell man, who is said to have shot himself with a 9-mm handgun right after pulling his vehicle onto the side of northbound US-23 near Eight Mile Road in Green Oak Township. The area was treated as a crime scene and was closed to traffic during the evening commute for investigation. Green Oak Township Police Chief Jason Pless tells WHMI per normal practice, the department is not releasing the name of the suicide victim. Meanwhile, the Washtenaw County Sheriffâs Office continues to investigate the original incident in which a 36-year-old Ypsilanti Township man was stabbed several times.
