On June 9, 2026, a call about gunfire at a home on Rensellor Street in Livonia, Michigan, ended with a four-person homicide. Responding officers found 58-year-old Sterling Ray Pierce and his wife, 53-year-old Holly Marie Kimball, dead in the backyard. Inside a bedroom were the bodies of their son, 22-year-old Tanner Ray Pierce, and his 21-year-old girlfriend, Nevaeh May Jaslynn Finch. All four victims suffered multiple gunshot wounds; a dog in the house was shot in the leg and expected to survive.

Their 25-year-old son, Gage Wade Pierce, exited the home and told officers he had shot his family. He was taken into custody at the scene without incident. Investigators recovered a semi-automatic rifle believed to be the murder weapon and several other firearms. Gage was charged with four counts of first-degree murder and four counts of felony firearm, denied bond and remanded. Authorities described a contentious relationship between Gage and his parents and noted friends saw unusual social media posts in the week before the killings; the family said Gage is on the Autism spectrum.

This mass killing has deeply affected neighbors who remembered the Pearces as hardworking and kind. The Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office is prosecuting the case; a probable cause conference is the next scheduled court step. Does anyone in Livonia have information about the family’s dynamics or what they noticed in the days before June 9?
