On January 29, 2015, 19-year-old James Clickard died after being shot inside a home on Flanders Street in Southgate, Michigan. The shooting occurred about 5 a.m.; Clickard had been staying next door and allegedly broke into his neighbors’ house. The homeowners, a 74-year-old man and his wife, were awakened by the intruder. The husband, who legally owned a firearm, armed himself and confronted the intruder.

Police say Clickard pointed a gun at the homeowner, who then fired, striking Clickard. Clickard was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators later found the gun Clickard had was reported stolen in an earlier home invasion in Taylor. Authorities also stated they believed Clickard was taking prescription medication and electronics from the house when he was shot. The matter was forwarded to the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office; there have been no public reports of charges against the homeowner.

Are there any neighbors or witnesses who remember that night or who can add details about what happened?
