DETROIT (TCD) -- Michigan State Police troopers shot and killed a man they allege dismembered his wife and left her remains in plastic bags in a bathtub.
WJRT-TV reports on Saturday, July 15, at approximately 7:20 p.m., Burton Police Department officers went to a residence at the Kings Lane Apartments to conduct a welfare check on a female resident. When they went inside, they reportedly discovered 41-year-old Shauna Roy's dismembered body in the tub.
Police began investigating her death and identified her husband, Tony Roy, as the suspect. Investigators tracked him to Detroit and obtained warrants for his arrest.
On Monday, July 17, Michigan State Police were attempting to issue the arrest warrant near Telegraph Road in Seven Mile and found Roy inside a car with a "female acquaintance." State Police conducted a traffic stop, but then noticed he was pointing a gun at himself and then the woman. When Roy pointed it at the woman, "multiple troopers" shot him.
According to Michigan State Police, the female victim sustained "minor injuries from glass fragments."
