On February 27, 2022, Dawn Michelle Sinkey, 36, was found with a gunshot wound to the chest inside a mobile home in the Huron Estates Mobile Home Community in Huron Township. Emergency responders transported her to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead. She was a 2004 graduate of Huron High School, had worked as a medical assistant and office manager and more recently for Amazon, and was active coaching youth sports. Family and friends remembered her as a devoted mother who loved attending her son’s baseball, basketball and football games.

Authorities say the killing occurred during a domestic dispute and that Michelle was shot by her 30-year-old boyfriend, Nathan Jordan-Donald Barks, who allegedly fled the scene. Barks was later arrested and charged by the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office with second-degree murder, one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm and two counts of felony firearm; he was arraigned in 34th District Court in Romulus and remanded to jail.

If anyone knew Michelle, her routine, or has information about the incident, please share what you know.
