Haleigh Pace, 24, was found critically wounded from a gunshot in her Belleville, Michigan, home in the Holiday West Mobile Home Community on June 29, 2025, and was pronounced dead that same day. Initial reports said the wound was self-inflicted after a 911 call placed by her live-in boyfriend, 39-year-old David Paul McPherson, but investigators later reclassified the case as a suspicious death when scene evidence and subsequent findings did not match that account.

Weeks of investigation led police to conclude Haleigh’s death was a homicide. On July 31, 2025, McPherson was arrested and the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office authorized charges of second-degree murder and felony firearm. He was arraigned that day in 34th District Court on second-degree homicide and felony firearm possession; bond was set at $100,000 with GPS monitoring, no contact with the protected party if released, forfeiture of firearms, and a prohibition on purchasing or possessing firearms. A probable cause conference was scheduled for August 13 and a preliminary exam for August 20.

Family members described Haleigh as a devoted mother working two jobs to support her young son and said suicide would have been out of character for her. Does anyone have information about Haleigh’s life, her time in Belleville, or the events of June 29 that could help investigators?
