Newaygo County shooting update

Posted About Seven Years Ago by Tim Burke

We now know the identities of the victim and the alleged murderer in Wednesday night's shooting in Newaygo County.

Police say Jason Verhulst is being charged with first-degree murder in the death of Timothy Shoemaker.

The shooting happened around 11 o'clock Wednesday night in Lilley Township when Shoemaker's father woke up to the sound of a gunshot.

He reportedly found Verhulst naked, standing next to his son's bed holding a rifle.

Police say Verhulst admitted to shooting Shoemaker saying, “Something told me to do it.”

Verhulst faces life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted.
