The Mt. Morris Township community is grieving and searching for answers after a shocking double homicide claimed the lives of two 28-year-old men on Monday afternoon. The tragedy unfolded inside a residence on 1275 W. Kurtz Ave., where police responded to urgent reports of gunfire shortly after 4 p.m. Officers quickly arrived to find a scene that has left the neighborhood deeply shaken and two families devastated.
Inside the home, police discovered Isaiah Deonte Pruitt and Cameron Edrice-Raymond Washington-Glover, both suffering from fatal gunshot wounds. According to Mt. Morris Township Police Chief Michael Veach, one victim was found in the living room while the other was discovered in the kitchen. Both were pronounced dead at the scene. The violent nature of the incident and the loss of two young men with their lives ahead of them have sent shockwaves through Mt. Morris Township.
Investigators immediately secured the area to begin the difficult task of piecing together what happened. A Michigan State Police mobile crime lab was brought in to assist local officers with processing evidence. Crews meticulously gathered shell casings, analyzed blood patterns, and looked for fingerprints or DNA that might help identify a suspect. Detectives also canvassed the area, speaking with neighbors and searching for any nearby surveillance footage that could provide clues about who entered or left the home.
Despite the extensive efforts on Monday, police have not yet released any information about a suspect or a possible motive. The lack of answers has left the community anxious and the victims’ families desperate for justice. With no arrests made, investigators are urging the public to come forward with any information, no matter how small. Even a detail that seems insignificant could help bring clarity to the case and lead to an arrest.
Friends of both victims have taken to social media to share memories, express their heartbreak, and call for justice. Many described Pruitt and Washington-Glover as young men who were deeply loved by their families and friends. Their deaths have sparked conversations about rising violence and the urgent need for community cooperation to help solve crimes and prevent further tragedies. The emotional impact of losing two lives at once has left neighbors shaken and families shattered.
Police are asking anyone with information related to the double homicide to contact Mt. Morris Township Police at 810-785-1311 ext. 261 or ext. 236. As investigators continue their work, the community is uniting in grief, hoping for answers and determined to honor the memory of Isaiah Deonte Pruitt and Cameron Edrice-Raymond Washington-Glover, two lives taken far too soon.
