—
Ann Arbor, Michigan — Police say the city endured two disturbing and unrelated shootings within a span of only ten hours Sunday, leaving a family pet dead and a young woman killed in a separate attack.
The first incident unfolded around 4 a.m. on Weldon, where a homeowner confronted a suspect who appeared to be breaking into a vehicle. According to Ann Arbor Police, the family dog, a yellow Labrador named Miley, ran outside during the confrontation and was shot and killed by the suspect. The gunman then fired more shots as he fled the scene. No people were injured.
The suspect is described as an adult male dressed entirely in black with a face covering. Officers searched the area extensively but were unable to locate him. Investigators believe he may have escaped the neighborhood in a waiting vehicle. Home surveillance footage is being reviewed as the search continues.
Hours later, at approximately 1:20 p.m., officers responded to a separate shooting inside an apartment on Pear Street. Police say a young female was fatally struck by gunfire before the suspect ran off. A firearm believed to be connected to the killing was later found during a K9 track.
Detectives believe this second shooting was an isolated and targeted act of violence. The motive has not been publicly released, and the investigation remains active.
Police Chief Andre Anderson said the department is throwing every available resource behind both cases. Authorities are urging anyone with information to step forward as they work to track down the suspects.
As fear and frustration rise, residents are looking for answers. City officials are trying to assure the community that they remain focused on public safety while demanding accountability for the violence that disrupted what should have been a peaceful Sunday.
