Suspect in custody as deputies investigate fatal shooting in Highland Township
A fatal shooting Tuesday in Highland Township is under investigation, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office said.
The victim, Rachel Renee Wooten, age 23, was pronounced dead at the scene at a home in the 200 block of Maple Street, the report said. The shooting was reported in a 911 call shortly after 4 p.m.
The suspect, a 21-year-old Highland Township man, was taken into custody without incident.
Neighbors say the couple kept to themselves and were very quiet.
"You never really think it's gonna happen," said neighbor Amber Clare. "You see all these things in the news, and you see it in documentaries, and then it's literally right next to you. It's shattering, it's earth-shattering."
Oakland County detectives are investigating the case and expect to submit their findings to the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office for review.
