Logan Welch was a 30-year-old husband, expectant father, and youth football coach from Grand Blanc, Michigan. A graduate of Grand Blanc High School and Central Michigan University, he worked as plant manager at Trims Unlimited in Almont and coached seventh-grade football at Grand Blanc West Middle School. He was described as dedicated to the young athletes he mentored.

On the morning of November 5, 2025, Welch was shot at the Trims Unlimited plant. A former coworker, William L. Channer III, who had been fired five days earlier, allegedly entered the facility around 8:20 a.m., walked into the plant area, produced a .380 semi-automatic pistol and shot Welch. Welch was taken to a local hospital and died from a single gunshot wound. Channer then fled, was pursued by police, engaged in an armed confrontation with deputies and was shot; he was hospitalized and later transferred to the Lapeer County Jail.

Channer was arraigned on multiple felonies, including first-degree premeditated murder and related firearm and fleeing charges; a not guilty plea was entered on his behalf and he was denied bond. A judge bound him over for trial in January 2026, but in May 2026 he was found incompetent to stand trial and no new date had been set. Does anyone have information about Welch’s time at the plant or his work with the youth football program?
