A felony arrest warrant for assault with intent to cause severe bodily harm was issued for Watson,

who was previously identified as the suspect in a shooting incident that occurred on November 9 in the Saginaw area. This information made its way to light. Earlier, a man had been hurt in the shooting, which is why authorities are pursuing Watson on these charges. Around 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, troopers from the Michigan State Police (MSHP) arrived at a residence on Dixie Highway in an effort to detain Watson based on the warrant.

Watson died at the scene of the crime after being shot; a trooper from the Michigan State Police Department was taken to Ascension St. Mary’s Hospital in Saginaw for emergency surgery after being shot. The trooper was in critical condition, but officials were hopeful about his chances of survival.
