PETOSKEY -- A man is dead after a shooting in Emmet County's Readmond Township.
Police found Nicholaus Scott Sowers, 24, dead of an apparent shotgun wound at a township residence at about 11 p.m. Sunday. They arrested a male suspect, 39, at a nearby residence.
Michigan State Police Sgt. Richard Rule said the men lived with each other. Police were still investigating the motive, and alcohol is believed to be a factor.
The suspect is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday at 90th District Court in Petoskey.
