Man fatally shot, another stabbed in separate incidents at apartment complex

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Two violent incidents happened at the same apartment complex, in the area of 16 Mile Road and Groesbeck Highway, around the July 4 holiday.

 

Man is killed
A man died following a shooting on July 4 at the Peachtree Apartments.

At 12:45 a.m., officers responded to a report of shots fired at the apartment complex. One man was found dead at the scene.

The man was later identified as Jaret Mays, 35, on social media.

Mays worked as a nurse and owned a shoe cleaning business called SHOElution. He also was an actor. He was set to be in an upcoming independent film called “Caught in the Crossfire.”

The person who called in the shooting did not see a suspect and was not able to give a description, according to a police report of the incident.

A candlelight vigil was held for Mays in Detroit, at the corner of Lenox and Linville, on July 6.

Those with information on the shooting can contact the Clinton Township Police Department at (586) 493-7839.

 

Woman arraigned after allegedly stabbing boyfriend
A Clinton Township woman was arraigned in 41B District Court July 5 on charges of allegedly stabbing her boyfriend at his home at the Peachtree Apartments.

Jennifer Marie Hayes, 29, allegedly stabbed her boyfriend July 3. He’s expected to recover from the injuries, according to a press release from the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office.

Hayes was charged with assault with intent to murder, which is a felony that carries up to a life sentence. She also faces an aggravated domestic violence charge, a misdemeanor that carries up to a one-year sentence. She was arraigned July 5 by Magistrate Ryan Zemke in 41B District Court in Clinton Township. Hayes’ bond was set at $250,000 cash or surety only.

“Domestic violence needs to stop,” Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido said in a press release. “Violence has no place in our community.”

Hayes’ attorney, Sherman Abdo, did not provide a comment at press time.

Hayes is set to appear in 41B District Court July 15 for a probable cause hearing in front of Judge Sebastian Lucido.
