Joseph Tyrone Candie, 39, was fatally shot on December 19, 2007, after finishing his shift at the Robert Scott Correctional Facility in Northville. Candie was a lieutenant with the Michigan Department of Corrections and a 14-year veteran of the department. He was confronted in a gas station parking lot across the street from the prison by a fellow corrections officer who had recently been the subject of disciplinary action in which Candie had been involved. The confrontation escalated and the other officer opened fire, fatally wounding Candie; he was pronounced dead at the scene and left behind a child.

Investigators identified and took the perpetrator into custody; the fellow officer was charged with murder and later convicted. A judge sentenced the individual to 25 to 40 years in prison for the killing. Does anyone have information about Candie’s life or the circumstances that led to this shooting that could shed more light on what happened?
