Man Charged With First‑Degree Murder in Shelby Township Stepfather Killing

Prosecutors filed multiple weapons counts plus a habitual‑offender notice, prompting a denied bond, a court‑ordered competency evaluation.

Overview

  • Police responded to reports of a domestic dispute and found a 67‑year‑old man dead from gunshot wounds at a Shelby Township home after an incident on Thursday, July 9.
  • Macomb County prosecutors say Trevin (Trentin) Beemer forcibly took a firearm, shot his stepfather multiple times in the head and neck area, and later tried to stop a witness from calling police.
  • Beemer was arraigned in 41‑A District Court on Friday, July 10, on first‑degree premeditated murder and a slate of firearms and assault charges.
  • Magistrate Christopher Alayan denied bond, prosecutors filed a second‑offense habitual‑offender notice that could increase sentencing exposure, and the court ordered a mental‑health competency evaluation.
