Joseph Saroli, 33, was fatally shot after an altercation at a Fraser home in the 18000 block of Woodbine on January 12, 2015. Magdowski, 31 and from Clinton Township, said he took the gun from Saroli and a single shot then struck Saroli in the hip area. Saroli was found wounded on the floor, taken to a hospital, and died the following day. Both men were reportedly under the influence of alcohol.

Magdowski was arrested at the scene; the handgun was recovered and he admitted to firing the shot but said he did not know why he pulled the trigger. He was arraigned on second-degree murder and felony firearm charges with bond set at $200,000. The homeowner, present that night and a friend of Saroli, confirmed the described sequence of events.

What did anyone who knew Joseph or the household notice about the relationships or tensions between those present that night?
