Robert Ceil Morgan Jr., 44, died on August 12, 2018, after being shot during an early-morning confrontation in Grattan Township, near Grand Rapids, Michigan. The incident followed a dispute over a loud party and reckless driving at a property Morgan owned. Witnesses said Morgan, intoxicated, drove his Jeep onto neighbor Jamie Fredericks’ lawn and made threats toward Fredericks and his wife.

Fredericks was awakened and, after being threatened outside, retrieved a gun. The confrontation moved into Fredericks’ house and became physical; Morgan put Fredericks in a headlock and struggled to take the gun. Fredericks fired one shot that struck Morgan in the stomach and also wounded Morgan’s 22-year-old nephew. Both were taken to a hospital, and Morgan later died.

The Kent County Prosecutor reviewed the Sheriff’s Department investigation and determined Fredericks was justified in using deadly force, finding he faced a sudden, fierce and violent attack and had no duty to retreat inside his home; no charges were filed. Does anyone have information about the events that night or the people involved?
