A Cadillac Police Department officer fatally shot a 57-year-old man on Friday, Jan. 2, after the suspect pointed a handgun at him during a traffic stop.

The shooting stemmed from an earlier home invasion and robbery at a residence in Wexford County, where a male victim was found dead at the scene. His death is being investigated as a homicide. A vehicle was also reported stolen from the property.

At approximately 4:25 p.m., a lone Cadillac officer located the suspected stolen vehicle and initiated a traffic stop on Laurel Street near Granite Street. During the stop, the driver pulled a handgun and pointed it at the officer. The officer responded by drawing his weapon and shooting the suspect.

The suspect was transported to Munson Healthcare Cadillac Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The officer, along with a female passenger in the vehicle during the shooting, were both uninjured.

"Investigators determined that the deceased driver was the primary suspect in the earlier homicide, home invasion and robbery," the Michigan State Police said in a statement. "No additional suspects are believed to be at large."

The MSP Seventh District Special Investigation Section is leading investigations into both the officer-involved shooting and the homicide, home invasion and robbery. Both remain ongoing at this time.
