Fatal Quincy Township shooting death of Joshua Kemppainen – Obituary
Authorities have identified Joshua Kemppainen, a 22-year-old from Quincy Township in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, as the suspect who ended his own life after admitting to running over an 80-year-old man with an ATV.
According to Hancock Police Chief Tami Sleeman, Kemppainen was found deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside his Quincy Township residence on Monday, July 22.
The police chief also noted that Kemppainen had no previous encounters with local law enforcement.
The victim, an 80-year-old man, was released from the hospital on Wednesday evening and is expected to continue his recovery at home. He sustained severe injuries during the incident and had been initially admitted in critical condition.
Kemppainen was implicated in a series of “politically motivated” offenses in Hancock on Sunday, July 21. Reports indicate that he targeted individuals displaying signs supporting former President Donald Trump and law enforcement.
During one of these incidents, he ran over the elderly man who was placing a political sign in his yard. Additionally, two vehicles were vandalized, according to Sleeman.
On the following day, Kemppainen contacted the police to confess his involvement in the crimes and requested that they come to his residence.
When officers arrived at his Quincy Township home, they found him dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
A search warrant was executed, leading to the discovery of the ATV used in the attack, along with clothing matching descriptions of what the suspect wore.
Investigators also found various electronic devices, which are set to be examined by computer forensics experts.
The investigation has been supported by the Houghton County Sheriff’s Office, Houghton City Police, Michigan State Police, and the FBI-Marquette Field Office.
