A 34-year-old woman from Lansing died Thursday from a shot to the head from a stray bullet as she waited for the city’s fireworks show at Lansing’s Adado Riverfront Park on Wednesday evening, according to a release from Lansing police published by the Lansing State Journal.
Police responded to a call at about 9:45 p.m. from a man who said a woman was having sierzures near the boat docking area of the park.
After the woman was located by officials, she was transported to a local hospital. At about 11:14 p.m., hospital officials reported finding a bullet in the unconcious woman’s head.
At about 10 a.m. Thursday, she was pronounced dead.
Preliminary findings do not show the weapon was disposed of within a close distance of where the woman was found, police said.
Officials ask that if anyone has information about the incident they contact Detective Mark Lewandowsky at (517) 483-6859 or Crime Stoppers 483-STOP.
