Suspect fatally shot by police after firing at couple in Southfield hotel parking lot

SOUTHFIELD — A suspect and a victim died following a shooting May 8.

The Southfield police and fire departments were called to the Marriott Hotel at 9:24 a.m. that day on a report of a shooting.

When officers arrived, they discovered a man and a woman laying in the parking lot, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

Lifesaving measures were initiated, and then the pair were transported to a hospital. The 41-year-old woman, from Detroit, passed away from her injuries, while the male victim remains in stable condition, according to police.

Upon further investigation, police found that the ex-boyfriend of the female victim, Kyle Bozeman III, a 49-year-old man from Detroit, allegedly had tracked her to the hotel, where he reportedly fired several rounds from an assault rifle as she and her new boyfriend entered the parking lot.

Police said Bozeman then fled the scene in a dark-colored vehicle to a residence in the city of Warren, and from there left in a convertible Chevrolet Camaro.

At 12:30 p.m., Bozeman was located in the city of Detroit, riding around with the top down on the southbound M-10 service drive, near Seven Mile Road, police said.

The Southfield Tactical Crime Suppression Unit initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle. While approaching the vehicle, the officers observed Bozeman and his passenger reaching for an assault rifle. In response, the officers fired multiple rounds, striking Bozeman, according to police. He was taken to a local hospital and was pronounced deceased.

The investigation is currently ongoing and is being handled by the homicide task force in conjunction with the Michigan State Police.
