A quiet morning at a rest stop in Clio, Michigan, turned into a scene of violence and tragedy on August 25, 2023, with the death of 59-year-old Kristopher Myers. The Flint man was fatally shot following what authorities believe to be a domestic dispute.
The incident unfolded in the early hours when witnesses at the I-75 rest area heard an argument, the sound of dogs barking, and then two gunshots. These witnesses discovered Myers's body and immediately contacted law enforcement.
They reported seeing a Saturn Vue speeding away from the scene, heading the wrong way up the entrance ramp.
Investigators were able to track the suspect vehicle to a location in Flint where it had become disabled in floodwaters. The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Renea Ferguson-Hill, was arrested at the scene. Prior to her arrest, Ferguson-Hill had allegedly gone to a family member's home, where a gun was taken from her.
Renea Ferguson-Hill was arraigned on charges of open murder and a felony firearm violation in connection with Kristopher Myers's death. The investigation suggested that the shooting was the culmination of a domestic dispute with other complicating factors. Authorities have indicated that they do not believe anyone else was involved in the incident. Further details regarding the relationship between Myers and Ferguson-Hill and the specific motive for the shooting have not been publicly released. The case is proceeding through the Genesee County court system.
