Patrick Clayton Petiprin, 34, was shot and killed on the night of May 7, 2025, at a residence on North Hewitt Road in Ypsilanti Township, Michigan. Washtenaw County deputies were called late in the evening for a domestic dispute; investigators determined Patrick was shot once during an altercation with his 74-year-old father.

Authorities identified the father as the shooter but did not take him into custody. After reviewing evidence and witness statements, the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office concluded the father acted in self-defense and declined to file criminal charges. The case was closed without arrests or convictions.

Patrick was remembered by those who knew him as athletic and creative. A Ypsilanti High School graduate who played baseball and football, he worked in the restaurant industry for years — even developing a homemade steak sauce with his father — and had more recently been employed in construction.
