PONTIAC, Mich. – The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office is on the hunt for a twice-convicted murderer accused of fatally shooting a Pontiac man and injuring a woman.
Michael Jerome Davis, 65, of Pontiac, was identified as being involved in the shooting that happened at about 8 p.m. Wednesday in the 800 block of South Marshall Street.
Deputies said Davis is believed to be armed and dangerous, cautioning residents not to approach him.
According to the sheriff’s office, he was previously convicted of aggravated murder in Ohio in 1984 and then convicted of murder while in prison in 1991. He was paroled from Ohio in 2006.
4-Month-Old Baby Found Alive After a Distraught Mother Abandoned Him by a Michigan Creek
After being abandoned by his mother, a 4-month-old baby boy was discovered by Michigan deputies in wet clothes, lying face-down in a wooded area on the banks of a creek. He was alone, but alive.
When two 911 calls from Pontiac prompted an encounter with a distressed mother without her infant on the morning of April 7, deputies from the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to scour the area. They discovered the infant on the wooded banks of an Orion Township creek. “The baby was in a hypothermic state when he was found in an area near Waldon and Joslyn roads,” according to a press release by the police department.
Jason Dean, a teacher accused of grooming and sexually assaulting students, pleaded no contest to five counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.
The 37-year-old Livonia resident accused by a former 2010 student at Cedar Crest Academy in Springfield Township entered his pleas over Zoom the morning of April 15.
“That’s five counts total,” Oakland Circuit Court Judge Yasmine Poles said. “Do you understand that, Mr. Dean? There’s two counts as to one of your files and three counts as to the other. You’re taking responsibility for all of those.”
“Yes,” he replied.
Dean was to report to Oakland County Jail by the afternoon. He is scheduled for a May 20 sentencing.
