RAY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WXYZ) — New information has emerged about the shootout and murder in Ray Township that started late Wednesday night.

Kim Mollicone, 49, was killed in the shootout at a home on North Avenue near 29 Mile Road Wednesday night in Ray Township.

She was shot and died in a car in the driveway of the home.

She is listed as office manager for a business called State Barricades in Warren.

The Macomb County Sheriff says two men are in custody, a 46-year-old man from Washington Township and a 36-year-old man who lived in the home. The father of that man told 7 Action News that his son was shot in the upper leg and was treated at a hospital. He is now in custody at the Macomb County Jail.

The father said his son was using a grill outdoors when a car pulled up and the man inside started the altercation.

Several shots were fired in both directions. Bullet holes could be seen in a garage door and in the front brick of the house.

We are not releasing the names of the two men in custody because they are not charged with any crimes.

The investigation continues.

Two handguns were also recovered at the scene.

The sheriff says nine people were at the home at the time, including two children. A motive and who fired the fatal shot is not clear.

The Macomb County Sheriff's Office tells 7 Action News that accusations of infidelity appear to be the cause of this dispute.

Some 30 shots were fired. One shot hit Kim Mollicone in the chest, killing her.

Ballistics will be used to determine which of two guns fired the shot.

Investigators are talking with all of the people who were there but are getting different versions of what happened. They are reviewing surveillance video from the home as part of the investigation.

Investigators plan to take the case to the Macomb County Prosecutor on Friday and the charges could be murder, reckless discharge of a firearm causing death or it could be determined as self-defense with the 36-year-old at the home where this happened.
