Noah Emmanuel Ward, 20, of Davison, Michigan, died on July 3, 2022, after a predawn shooting at the Windsor Place Apartments in Davison Township. Police said Ward entered the wrong apartment at about 2:30 a.m.; the door was reported unlocked and the resident inside reacted as if an intruder had come through the threshold. A gunshot was fired and Ward was killed before officers arrived.

Authorities described the case as an active investigation and identified the shooter publicly only as another resident of the same apartment building or complex. Police were in contact with a person of interest, and contemporaneous reporting noted no criminal charges had been filed and no arrest or prosecution was reported publicly.

Ward was born October 16, 2001, in Brownsville, Texas, and graduated from Goodrich High School in 2020. A visitation was announced for July 8, 2022, at Allen Funeral Home in Davison, with cremation to follow and memorial contributions suggested to Whaley Children’s Center.
