How they died
Suicide
According to police, off-duty Muskegon officer Kevin Stier called dispatch around 4 a.m., "indicating he was despondent and potentially going to harm himself. He was in his truck driving around." Muskegon officers and Muskegon County deputies saw Stier on Apple Avenue, and tried to pull him over, but he fled. The officers followed him. Police said they turned off their emergency lights, and Stier slowed down. In Kent County, other marked cars started following Stier, and he accelerated. Police stopped Stier shortly after he reached the divided highway. According to police, they weren't sure what Stier was doing in the truck--it was dark, and they believed he had a gun, so they kept their distance and waited for tactical officers and negotiators. Police set off a flash-bang, and reportedly saw no movement in the the truck. They found Stier dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
