A domestic homicide in Georgetown Township near Grandville ended the life of 52-year-old Elieser Lores Montano on the morning of September 25, 2025. Ottawa County deputies responded to a Brookmeadow Court apartment after a 911 call in which Michelle Matos-Colon said she had shot her husband. Montano was found dead in a stairwell; an autopsy attributed his death to a single gunshot wound to the face and the death was ruled a homicide.

Investigators recovered one 9mm casing inside the apartment near the couch, and scene evidence indicated Montano had been standing near the front door when shot. Matos-Colon, 49, was taken into custody and told detectives the couple had long-standing domestic problems, that he had been staying elsewhere for days, and that an argument escalated when he returned. She said he pushed and slapped her, she retrieved a handgun from her purse and shot him, and she knew he was unarmed.

Court documents say Matos-Colon allegedly had consumed 29 beers before the encounter and reportedly told detectives she would not have killed him if sober. The couple had prior domestic incident contacts with the sheriff’s department. Matos-Colon was charged with open murder and felony firearm possession and arraigned with bond set at $1 million.

If anyone knew the couple or witnessed events at the Brookmeadow Court complex that morning, please share what was seen or heard.
