**PRESS RELEASE FROM Macomb County Prosecutor**
Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido announced Kimberly Lozano, a 31-year-old Livonia woman, was arraigned on charges related to a shooting in an Eastpointe, MI residence.
It is alleged that on Sunday, August 17, 2025, Lozano shot a handgun at Willie Richardson, her friend’s father, after he asked Lozano to leave his home. He was not struck. While being detained, Lozano would not follow the police officer’s instructions and additional officers had to assist in her arrest.
On Monday, August 18, 2025, Lozano was arraigned in the 38th District Court in Eastpointe, MI before Magistrate Mark J. Makowski on the following charges:
– Assault with Intent to Murder, a life or any term of years felony
– Weapons Felony Firearm, a 2-year felony, consecutive to main charge

Magistrate Makowski set a $350,000 cash/surety bond. A Probable Cause Conference is scheduled for Wednesday, August 27, 2025 at 1:00 pm and a Preliminary Exam is scheduled for Wednesday, September 3, 2025 at 1:00 pm, both before Judge Kathleen G. Galen at the 38th District Court in Eastpointe, MI.
“We cannot allow people to settle conflicts with firearms. The moment a weapon is drawn, what could have been a dispute becomes a life-threatening crime. When one person chooses to fire a gun in anger, they place not only the intended target at risk, but others who are nearby. Violence is not a solution; it’s a choice, and it comes with consequences,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office represents the People. We are committed to achieving justice and following the laws of the State of Michigan. All that are accused of a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
