WYANDOTTE, Mich. (FOX 2) - A domestic argument inside a Wyandotte home escalated into a deadly shooting early Tuesday, police confirmed.
A 22-year-old woman died from a gunshot wound and her 23-year-old boyfriend suffered a cut to his leg, Wyandotte police said in a press release.
The incident happened around 5:15 a.m. when officers responded to the 1100 block of Sycamore Street after a 911 call came in reporting someone had been shot.
While on scene, police located the female victim. She was transported to the hospital before being pronounced deceased.
The man was taken to the hospital to be treated as well. He was released and taken to the police station.
"We have the boyfriend here at the police department. He’s not willing to talk to us right now," said Wyandotte Chief of Police Brian Zalewski. "He asked for an attorney."

The incident is still under investigation.
"We’re getting some assistance from the Michigan State Police, who’s been processing the crime scene for us," Zalewski said.
