Michael Allen Tripp, 26, died after being shot in Frenchtown Township, Michigan, in the early morning of May 8, 2021. Deputies responding to a reported gunshot around 3:15 a.m. found Tripp wounded in the roadway at Pleasantville and George drives; he was taken to Beaumont Hospital in Trenton and later died.

Investigators say the shooting followed an altercation at the Pleasantville Mobile Home Community. Tripp, who lived in Newport, went to the mobile home of Austin Corey-Jordan Green, 21, and Riley Morgan Young, 20. A witness reported Young chased and struck Tripp as he ran toward the park entrance, then Green joined and argued before a physical fight. Green allegedly produced a handgun and fired a single shot that struck Tripp about 86 yards from the couple’s home.

Green and Young were found nearby and taken into custody. Austin Green was charged with one count of homicide, open murder, and one count of felony firearm and held without bond; court filings noted Green called Tripp a very dear friend and did not render aid after the shooting. Does anyone have information about Tripp’s movements that morning or about contacts in the Pleasantville community?
