Eric Harrington, 34, was shot to death in his Oakwood Street home in Belding, Michigan, in the early morning hours of October 21, 2015. Police arrived at 4:53 a.m. to find Harrington unresponsive in a pool of blood; he had been shot eight times. His 21-year-old girlfriend, Kylie Vincent, was at the scene and told officers she had shot him after he attacked her.

Investigators documented injuries to Vincent, including a swollen left eye and forehead, and learned the couple shared a one-year-old child who was in the house during the incident. The inquiry uncovered a pattern of prior violent behavior by Harrington, including a 2007 road-rage episode in which he was shot in the leg and a 2009 personal protection order after he threatened an ex-girlfriend. An autopsy found methamphetamine, amphetamine and THC in Harrington’s system.

After interviews with 27 people, Ionia County Prosecutor Kyle Butler announced in April 2016 that no charges would be filed. The prosecutor concluded Vincent acted in lawful self-defense and closed the case. Did anyone in the Belding area know more about the couple’s history or the night of the shooting?
