DPD Officer Rasheen McClain
McClain was killed last Wednesday while responding to a call to Wyoming near Chippewa with his partner Officer Phillippe Batoum-Bisse who was also shot and injured.
When the officers arrived on scene, they were told there was a suspect inside armed with a long rifle or a gun. McClain, a 16-year veteran, called for backup and he took charge.
Chief James Craig said he believes the 28-year-old suspect wanted to die at the hands of police.
The suspect has not yet been charged, but a warrant request has been given to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office. The suspect is also suspected in two other shootings in the days prior. The suspect has not yet been named.
