In the early hours of October 10, 2016, in Newaygo, Michigan, a domestic disturbance escalated into a tragedy that claimed the lives of 38-year-old Kristie Wolever and her 49-year-old husband, Thomas Wolever. Kristie, a mother and a Kellogg's employee, was a female. The couple was discovered deceased inside their home from gunshot wounds. The incident, which unfolded around 2 a.m., also left Kristie's 18-year-old son, Tomas Stebleton, with a gunshot wound.
He was transported to a local hospital and was listed in stable condition.
At the time of the incident, law enforcement officials described the situation as being of a domestic nature. It was reported that Kristie had been seeking a divorce from her husband. According to Thomas Wolever's father, his son had recently moved out of the shared home and was staying with him. A neighbor also confirmed that Thomas had moved out.
In the immediate aftermath, the Newaygo County prosecutor stated that there was no threat to the general public. However, investigators did not immediately identify who fired the shots. Despite the initial investigation and the domestic nature of the incident, publicly available information does not include details of any arrests or the final conclusions of the police investigation regarding the shooter's identity. The case was being handled by the Michigan State Police, who urged anyone with information to come forward. There have been no subsequent reports detailing arrests or a definitive resolution to the case.
