On Friday, January 30, 2026, authorities in Clinton Township, Michigan, responded to a devastating domestic violence incident. At approximately 1:20 p.m., police received a call from a man who stated he had shot his girlfriend at a residence in the 22100 block of 15 Mile Road, east of Gratiot Avenue.
Upon arrival, officers communicated with the male suspect who then exited the home and was detained without incident . Upon entering the residence, they discovered a woman in her 20s with multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency medical personnel performed life-saving measures, but their efforts were unsuccessful, and the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
The victim was later identified by the community as Mya Johnson, a beloved resident of Clinton Township. The preliminary investigation indicates the fatal shooting followed a domestic argument between Mya and her boyfriend inside the residence. The verbal dispute escalated, culminating in the male suspect producing a handgun and shooting Mya multiple times. Immediately after the shooting, the suspect himself called 911 to report the incident. Officers arriving at the scene with weapons drawn took him into custody there.
The Clinton Township Police Department has confirmed that the male suspect remains in custody and that there is no ongoing threat to public safety. While police have not officially released the names, ages, or specific relationship details of those involved, community sources and social media reports identify the victim as Mya and state the suspect was her boyfriend. Investigators also detained at least one other person at the home during the initial response as they worked to determine the full circumstances.
A search warrant was subsequently obtained, granting officers further access to gather evidence from the home as the investigation proceeds. The police department is actively continuing its investigation into the homicide and has requested that anyone with information pertinent to the incident contact them directly. Authorities have not yet disclosed what specific charges the suspect may face or if an arraignment has been scheduled.
Mya is remembered as a kind and joyful person whose spirit deeply touched her community.

The incident underscores the tragic and often deadly consequences of domestic violence, a pattern that turns intimate relationships into scenes of lethal confrontation.
The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to compile evidence and understand the complete sequence of events that led to Mya’s death . The Clinton Township Police Department continues to handle the case, and further official details regarding charges or the suspect’s identity are expected as the legal process moves forward. The community mourns the loss of a young woman whose life was ended far too soon in an act of domestic violence.
