LODI TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WXYZ) — We have new information into a murder mystery playing out in Washtenaw County. It happened sometime between last Tuesday and Friday at a rural home on west Waters Road in Lodi Township.
The mother of 27-year old Kyle Luark came looking for him and called 911 to say she had been shot at.
