Armed, Dangerous Double Murder Suspect Captured In Indiana
KALAMAZOO (WWJ) - A manhunt is now over for a suspect who allegedly killed two people in two different Michigan counties.
Police say 32-year-old Zachary Patten was captured in South Bend, Indiana. No further details were released. He is currently in police custody.
Authorities launched a manhunt for Patten Thursday night after two people were shot dead.
According to police, Patten fatally shot a 31-year-old woman around 9:40 p.m. Thursday at a mobile home park in Kalamazoo. The shooting reportedly happened while Patten was arguing with another man; the woman was apparently just a bystander.
About an hour later, Patten allegedly shot a man during a home invasion in Florence Township, just south of Three Rivers in St. Joseph County. That man, identified in reports as the husband of Patten's ex-wife, was taken to the hospital where he died.
Charges are pending.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 269-337-8994, or Silent Observer at 269-343-2100.
