A release from Clare Police Chief Dave Saad the man was identified as Kevin Michael Lightall, 48 of Clare.
In a press release Thursday morning May 5th, Chief Saad reported that officers responded to a “home invasion in progress” on McEwan Street and Dwyer around 6 a.m. in the morning.
As they were arriving, Saad said officers heard gunshots from the residence. The investigation revealed that the homeowner had fired a weapon at the intruder causing fatal injuries. No one else, police or the homeowner was injured during the incident.
