Dashawn Anthony Skinner, a 27-year-old Black man, died after being shot during a confrontation inside a home in the 3400 block of Brookwood Lane North in Saginaw, Michigan. The incident occurred on the evening of May 10, 2023, after an argument reportedly escalated into a physical altercation. A person at the residence placed a 911 call admitting they had shot Skinner, saying the shooting followed an incident of domestic assault in which Skinner was allegedly choking and physically assaulting them.

According to the caller’s account, they fired one shot after warning Skinner to stop; Skinner ran from the home, collapsed, and later died at a local hospital. The shooter stayed at the scene, cooperated with police, and investigators collected forensic evidence and reviewed the autopsy. The Saginaw County Prosecutor’s Office reviewed the findings and concluded the killing was justified self-defense; no charges were filed and the shooter’s name was not released.
