On June 21, 2019, deputies were called to Lewis and Lindsey roads in Orangeville Township, Michigan, after reports of a shooting. Responding officers found the body of 21-year-old Bryce DeGood in the roadway and then discovered 73-year-old Gary L. Peake at a nearby home, both dead of gunshot wounds.

A neighbor, 63-year-old Jon Burnett, was taken into custody soon after and charged with two counts of open murder, felony firearm counts, assault by strangulation, and felonious assault related to alleged threats against other people in the area. A $10 million bond was set for Burnett.

Authorities said the motive remained under investigation. Burnett’s wife told investigators he had a history of head injuries and said the couple had considered Peake a friend. Does anyone in the area recall tensions between these neighbors or other details that could help explain what happened?
