ST. JOSEPH TOWNSHIP (WKZO AM/FM) — Two have been arrested for the New Year’s Eve murder of an active duty service man in St. Joseph Township.
Army Sgt. Tyrone Hassel III was taking a plate of food from a New Year’s Eve party at a neighbor’s home to his wife at their place, when he was gunned down in the 2,000 block of Colfax Avenue.
The young father who had seen duty in Korea, and who was stationed in Georgia was visiting his family for the Holidays.
St. Joseph Township Police say they got the tip they have been hoping for on Friday.
That led them to the two suspects, who are being held in the Berrien County Jail until arraignment on Monday.
Their names and more details about the investigation may be released at that time.
