Fatal shooting of UM medical Student

<p>So very sad… seemed like a very nice young man with a promising future. His last FB post was to wish his sister a happy birthday. :(</p>

<p>This made national news… :(</p>

<p>I have 61 emails on crime alerts since fall 2010 and they are usually equivalent to the demographs and crime that ThisisMichigan has said. I too am used to the above crimes. Homicide however is something else…</p>

<p>The police offered a reward…it sounds like they have no clue what happened</p>

<p>It is disturbing that something like this could happen a few blocks from where I live. My fear was that this was random, rather than someone the guy knows. If this is the true, this will likely go unsolved. A deserted street and a deserted big house attracted someone (who was armed) trying to find drugs or something.</p>

<p>I do think Ann Arbor could do more to make the streets safer. I mean right next to this medical fraternity is the nursing school. The nursing school lights go off at a certain time at night making areas on N. Ingalls very poorly lit. I found N. Ingalls flat out creepy at night and avoided it. Also, should N. Ingalls really be one-way? N. State street is two-way, it is crowded and feels safe even at night. This would never have happened on N. State. N. Ingalls is certainly wide enough to be two way.</p>

<p>5 grand? might as well not offer anything</p>

<p>^^^It’s now 10K</p>

<p>“Ann Arbor police announce a $5,000 reward Monday morning. Just after 2 p.m. Monday, the University of Michigan Police Department announced the department would be matching the $5,000 reward offered by Ann Arbor police.”</p>

<p>I hope the new reward pries loose some information. This needs to be solved.</p>

<p>is it taxable?</p>

<p>Still unsolved. A murderer, or possibly two, still free in the Ann Arbor area.</p>

<p>alopez, it is by no means certain that the killer is still in Ann Arbor. In fact, given the fact that the police has not yet been able to identify the killer, it is likely that the crime was random, in which case the murderer may have been drifter that was simply passing by.</p>

<p>I read the article…I’m surprised that they are still waiting on forensic evidence analysis to come back. This does not make sense to me. This made national news, it is one of the worst crimes in Ann Arbor in the last decade, and they’re waiting for analysis to come back.</p>

<p>It seems a better use of resources to get this forensic analysis back than to station police officers around the medical fraternity for the three of four weeks following the shooting.</p>

<p>Maybe I’m missing something…</p>

<p>^how does it not make sense to you? Public sector employees lol… this is pretty much expected.</p>

<p>Everyone is used to CSI or NCIS results, back within the hour! Realistically, labs are backed up and testing/analysis takes a long time. Nothing to do with the types of employees, but a lot to do with whether they have adequate funding.</p>

<p>No, Bearcats is always right</p>

<p>There are many things public sector employees lack, but funding isn’t one of them. There are countless studies and examples of the level of dysfunction and inefficiency in the public sector over the years.</p>

<p>While in the private sector, shareholders/owners keep a close eyes on the amount of waste in their operation, the public sector’s mentality is to just ask the taxpayer for more, and borrow more. There is no incentive to be efficient or competent.</p>

<p>Hell if comps, benefits and accountability are brought in line with the public sector (should be lower if anything since the average government worker is less competent and productive than the private sector counterpart), the amount of savings that could be used for funding would probably be enough to buy Canada and Mexico.</p>

<p>“Realistically, labs are backed up and testing/analysis takes a long time.”
They are backed up because realistically your average government worker works 9-5 and takes an hour and a half lunch break, if even that. My cousin used to work for BAH which consults for government agencies and lateraled to Bain, he would tell you first hand how different the culture is.</p>

<p>“No, Bearcats is always right”
Welcome back. Looks like this young grasshopper is learning.</p>

<p>You wish…</p>

<p>I uh… just uh… took a vacation. Yeah</p>

<p>Nothing happened at all</p>

<p>(I’m a dedicated U M football fan, FYI)</p>

<p>sad news for his family and friends</p>

<p>[University</a> of Michigan medical student’s killing leaves anguish, no answers for family | Detroit Free Press | freep.com](<a href=“http://www.freep.com/article/20131003/NEWS05/310030009/paul-dewolf-university-of-michigan-ann-arbor-homicide]University”>http://www.freep.com/article/20131003/NEWS05/310030009/paul-dewolf-university-of-michigan-ann-arbor-homicide)</p>

<p>^ That made the front page of the Detroit Free Press today. Also contains previously unreleased details about the murder. Shot in the neck, while in his room at Phi Rho Sigma fraternity house. Zero leads. Pretty unsettling. Hope there’s a break in the case soon.</p>

<p>Just got this alert in my mail…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>This is is basically the same street as N. Ingalls. It is a short block away from the medical fraternity. Like I said this street is creepy and poorly lit. The city of Ann Arbor should fix the basic lighting problems on the street. I even noticed that the lights were out at this specific spot a I drove home last night. Simple fixes can major reduce these crime problems.</p>
