In the early morning hours of what should have been a day of celebration, 26-year-old Guillermo Rosado was found dead in his truck in Pontiac, Michigan. It was October 3, 2022, his birthday, when deputies and the Waterford Regional Fire Department were dispatched to the 200 block of High Street around 1:46 a.m. following a report of a shooting. Upon their arrival, they discovered Rosado, a male, slumped over the center console of his vehicle.
Emergency responders attempted to revive him,
but their efforts were unsuccessful. An autopsy was scheduled to determine the official cause of death, though authorities were investigating the case as a homicide from the outset. Detectives from the Oakland County Sheriff's Office and their Forensic Science Laboratory began an active investigation into the circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting.
In the wake of his death, family and friends gathered for a vigil, holding candles and balloons to honor his memory. His mother expressed her profound grief and confusion, stating that her son was not known to cause trouble and that she could not understand why someone would take his life. Rosado's father recounted the devastating phone call that informed him of his son being shot in his own vehicle in his own yard. The family pleaded with the public for any information that could lead to the capture of those responsible.
As of the initial reports, no suspects had been identified, and no arrests had been made in connection with the shooting. Authorities urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers, offering a cash reward for any tip that would lead to an arrest. The investigation into the death of Guillermo Rosado remains ongoing as his loved ones await justice.
