Adam Briggs

How they died

Suicide

Troopers were performing a welfare check at 8 p.m. when they found a 62-year-old woman dead from an apparent homicide inside her home. No one else was in the home when the victim was found, but troopers developed a suspect -- a 30-year-old relative of the victim -- and put out a broadcast alert. The Cadillac Police Department located the other and attempted a traffic stop shortly after 1 a.m. The driver fled and officers pursued him. He allegedly fired at police, missing the vehicles and officers. Missaukee County Sheriff's deputies deployed stop sticks, which disabled the other, police said. The man fled on foot. Police found the body shortly after 6 a.m. with a fatal, self-inflicted gunshot.
