On the morning of February 15, 2022, Jesse Warren Loomis, a 22-year-old White man from Millington, Michigan, was found fatally shot in the driveway of a home on Belsay Road in Thetford Township. Responding officers had been called for a man needing medical assistance; Jesse was pronounced dead at the scene and a trail of blood led back into the kitchen, indicating a violent struggle. The investigation was immediately treated as a homicide.

Investigators later arrested two men from St. Helen — 54-year-old Troy Joseph Bilkovsky and 54-year-old Brian Lee Colden — charging both with homicide and felony weapons offenses. Authorities said the men broke into Loomis’s home just after 6:30 a.m. to confront him about an ongoing financial dispute; that confrontation ended when Jesse was shot. Separate juries found both Bilkovsky and Colden guilty, and each faced life in prison for the murder.

If anyone knew Jesse, knew about the dispute, or has information about the events that morning, please share what is known.
