A family shooting in Oak Park, Michigan ended in one death and a critical injury two days after Christmas 2019. On a Friday afternoon, 74-year-old Mary Boles was shot six times and killed inside the shared home. Her 55-year-old son, also named Robert Boles, was shot at least five times and found critically wounded in the basement; he managed to call 911.

Police say the alleged shooter was the victims’ 22-year-old grandson, Robert Boles. He reportedly drove to Allen Park after the attack, contacted authorities and confessed before being arrested. He was arraigned and remanded to the Oakland County Jail on multiple felony counts, including first-degree murder for Mary Boles and assault with intent to murder for the attack on his father. At the time of arrest, investigators had not established a clear motive.

Does anyone have information about the family or the events that afternoon that could help clarify what led to this attack?
