23-year-old male stabbed to death by Southgate Kroger Manager
SOUTHGATE, MI — Police are investigating a fatal stabbing that occurred Tuesday afternoon inside a Kroger store located near Fort Street and Pennsylvania Road in the Downriver area.
According to the Southgate Police Department, officers responded to reports of a stabbing inside the store and discovered a 23-year-old male victim suffering from critical injuries.
Despite lifesaving efforts by first responders, the victim was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Authorities confirmed that a suspect was taken into custody shortly after the incident.
Police have described the event as an isolated incident, with no ongoing threat to the public.
Witnesses at the scene told reporters that the altercation may have involved store employees.
According to Anthony DeGregorio, whose sister works at the store, the confrontation reportedly began when the boyfriend of an employee came to confront another worker accused of inappropriate behavior toward his girlfriend. “It was two younger guys — one being an employee and the other the boyfriend of an employee,” DeGregorio told Channel2 NOW. “It broke out into a fight that ended with the employee pulling a knife. My sister and several women had previously reported him for harassment, and nothing was ever done. Now, this happened.”
DeGregorio also claimed the suspect held a managerial position within the store. The confrontation allegedly escalated from a verbal dispute into a physical altercation that turned deadly.
Police have not yet released the identities of either the victim or the suspect pending family notifications and further investigation.
Detectives remained at the scene throughout the evening, collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses.
The Southgate Police Department stated that the investigation is ongoing and that additional information will be released as it becomes available.
