Lizz Weber Fatally Shot by Boyfriend in Suspected Murder-Suicide Following Domestic Dispute in Southern Kent County
GAINES TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A domestic disturbance in Gaines Township turned deadly Monday afternoon after Kent County Sheriff’s deputies responding to a reported argument discovered two people fatally shot inside a home.
According to Sgt. Scott Dietrich with the Kent County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were dispatched just after 1:00 p.m. to a residence on Madison Avenue north of 68th Street, following a call reporting a heated argument.
While en route, dispatchers updated deputies with new information indicating that a shooting had occurred at the location.
When deputies arrived, they found the bodies of a man and a woman inside the home, both deceased from apparent gunshot wounds.
The woman has been identified as Lizz Weber, who lived at the residence with her boyfriend.
The couple had reportedly been in a relationship for seven years.
According to those close to Weber, while arguments between the two had occurred in the past, no one anticipated such a tragic outcome.
“Domestics and traffic stops are the most dangerous calls we go on,” Sgt. Dietrich stated. “This one, obviously, is no different. These things can change so quickly. Our deputies were headed to what was initially described as an argument. That quickly escalated into a shooting. By the time they arrived, it was too late.”
As of late Monday afternoon, members of the Kent County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit and the Detective Bureau remained on scene conducting a full investigation.
The medical examiner’s office is expected to complete autopsies soon to determine official causes of death.
Sgt. Dietrich also commended the individual who called 911 to report the argument, emphasizing the importance of alerting authorities when a situation shows signs of potential violence.
“We ask people to reach out for help. Call 911 if something doesn’t feel right. There are also many community resources like 211, domestic violence hotlines, and several local organizations in Grand Rapids that can help prevent situations like this from escalating.”
He continued,
“This is a horrible situation—for the family, for neighbors, for first responders who have to walk into a tragic and traumatic scene. We would much rather be called early to intervene in an argument than to arrive too late.”
Authorities have not yet released the identity of the male victim, and no further details regarding the sequence of events or potential suspects have been provided as of Monday evening.
Residents needing access to the area are advised to use 66th Street SE from Eastern Avenue to approach from the north, as the immediate vicinity remains restricted during the ongoing investigation.
City of Hammond, Louisiana — At approximately 11:50 p.m. on February 24, 2026, officers with the Hammond Police Department responded to a report of shots fired involving one possible victim.
Upon arrival, officers located a 14-year-old juvenile female, identified as Tyronai Reed, suffering from an apparent gunshot wound.
Emergency medical assistance was rendered at the scene, and she was transported to North Oaks Health System for treatment.
Despite life-saving efforts, Reed later succumbed to her injuries.
Detectives assigned to the department’s Criminal Investigations Division launched an immediate homicide investigation.
During the course of their investigation, authorities identified 18-year-old Demontez Treyvon “Trey” Robinson of Hammond as a suspect in the shooting.
While actively working the case, officers observed a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed and conducted a traffic stop.
Robinson was identified as the driver of the vehicle and was taken into custody without incident.
Robinson was transported to the Criminal Investigations Division for questioning. According to investigators, Robinson admitted that the firearm discharged while he was handling or “playing with” it, resulting in the single round striking the 14-year-old victim.
Robinson was subsequently booked into the Hammond City Jail on one count of Negligent Homicide.
Authorities emphasize that the investigation remains in its early stages and additional details may be released as they become available.
