Saginaw homicide suspect shot dead in Bay City – In a business district on the southside of Bay City a suspect of homicide was shot in broad daylight. The incident happened on Sunday afternoon around 4:20 p.m. The incident happened near a pizza restaurant on Columbus Avenue. The man involved in the incident was not alone, he was with a woman and a child. It was not established that the woman is his wife or not but the woman and the child were not injured during the time of the incident.
According to abc12, the man man involved in the incident was identified by the officials, he was identified as a 34-year-old Cortez Owens. Owens was involved in another incident that happened on father’s day and he was a suspect in the murder incident that happened on that father’s day. As Owens was heading out of D’Angelo’s Pizza on Columbus Avenue with a female friend of his and a child who happens to be the woman’s 9-year-old son, the suspect who shot Owens appeared in front of them and began to shoot.
The broad daylight incident happened right across the street from J B Men’s Apparel on Columbus Avenue on Sunday afternoon. After Owens was shot the person that shot him passed away and an SUV drove speedily awhile after the shooting. The person who shot the man is suspected to have been inside the Suv that drove away shortly after Owens was shot. The environment was said to be a peaceful environment before the time of the incident and it was also stated that no one has been shot dead as his death was the first to be recorded in the area this year.
Owens has been facing a lot of charges before the incident that took his life. Owens was involved in the murder of 43-year-old Monte Wilson of Saginaw who died after he was shot in an unidentified area. Caleb Rowell, Deputy Director of the Bay City Public Safety Department said that, “Its not something that would ordinarily happen here, takes us by surprise, but it can happen anywhere, and obviously they were targeting this individual for whatever reason, whoever the shooter is.”
