“On Aug. 14, 2025 at 7:12 a.m. Oceana County Sheriff’s deputies and Michigan State Police troopers were dispatched to an address in the 4000 block of East Buchanan Road in Ferry Township, Oceana County, to respond to the report of a man shot,” states a press release from Sheriff Mast.
“When deputies and troopers arrived there, they found a 46-year-old Shelby man had been shot and had passed away from his injuries. Deputies, troopers, along with the MSP Crime Lab, are still on scene investigating as this is a very fresh case,” stated Mast Thursday afternoon around 3 p.m.
