Michael Jaye Underwood III was 25 when he was shot and killed on the evening of July 24, 2021, in the parking lot of a Kalamazoo Township apartment complex. He worked as a tree trimmer for Asplundh and was remembered by family and friends for a vibrant personality that brought joy to those around him. The shooting reportedly began after a dispute over a child and occurred as Underwood was getting out of his car.

Authorities found Underwood with gunshot wounds and he was taken to a local hospital, where he later died. Darrell Wayne Felton Jr., 27, a man known to Underwood through a third party, was arrested at the scene and charged with open murder and a felony firearm offense. Underwood is survived by family including a girlfriend and a young son who was four at the time.
