WARREN (WWJ) -- A 29-year-old man is facing charges after fatally shooting a man in Macomb County over the weekend.

Roger Boyd was charged with firearm discharge in or at a building causing death as well as felony firearm in connection with the shooting at Regency Club Apartments in Warren, reports Fox 2 Detroit.

On Saturday, May 21, Warren Police Commissioner William Dwyer said police responded to the complex around 6:30 a.m., where they found a 54-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound to the abdomen.

The victim was taken to the hospital where he succumbed to his injuries shortly thereafter, officials said.

“This is a very tragic and regrettable incident," said Dwyer. "I commend the responding officers for taking this individual into custody quickly and without further violence, ensuring that he no longer poses a threat to the public.”

Boyd was immediately apprehended, said police.

Officials said they know the relationship between the shooter and the victim, but would not specify how they know each other or what lead to the shooting.

Boyd's bond was set at $250,000 cash/surety, no 10%. If he posts bond, he must wear a GPS tether.
