On the evening of February 16, 2024, 19-year-old Veronica Crain was working the front desk at the Comfort Suites on Haggerty Road in Canton Township, Michigan, when her ex-boyfriend, 23-year-old Joseph Michael Slocum Jr., entered and shot her in the head. First responders found Veronica behind the front desk and she was pronounced dead at the scene. Slocum left and was later found injured in the roadway on Interstate 275 after being struck by two vehicles; he was taken to a hospital and arrested.

Family and friends told investigators Veronica had tried to end the relationship several times and had broken up with Slocum about a month before the killing. Prosecutors described the case as an example of the danger faced by people trying to leave abusive relationships.

Did anyone in the Canton area see or hear anything that night that could help clarify the timeline around the hotel shooting or the crash on I-275?
