Teen dead, "numerous" other people hospitalized after assault and fire in Monroe County

A 15-year-old boy is dead and "numerous" other people were hospitalized after an assault and fire at a home in Monroe Township, Michigan, early Saturday, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies responded to the incident on the 1200 block of Raintree Boulevard at 5:37 a.m. The law enforcement agency said they found an undisclosed number of individuals suffering from cuts and stab wounds, who were taken to the hospital, along with the boy, who died at the scene.

The boy has been identified by the sheriff's office as Monroe High School sophomore Trenton Joseph Grant.

Monroe County resident Charlotte Kenright said she was finishing up food deliveries when she heard screaming coming from the home. She added that she saw multiple people who had been stabbed leaving the residence and that the person who may have been hurting people jumped out a window and began to target her.

"I put the car in reverse and he's at my window, actually banging on it," Kenright said.

She said she dragged the individual across the street with her car.

The agency said it was working with the Michigan State Police and Monroe Public Safety Department Saturday morning to investigate the incident, adding that it's believed to be isolated.

Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff's office at 734-240-7530. Those wishing to stay anonymous can call Crime Stoppers of Michigan at 1-800-773-2587 or submit a tip here.
