Sad that people had to lose their lives over this.

A father and daughter were fatally shot in Detroit Friday evening while trying to remove occupants from a home purchased in Wayne County’s September tax foreclosure auction.

Stacy Pugh, president of the Rosedale Park Improvement Association, the neighborhood where the father and daughter were killed in a gunfight, says the process of evicting tenants of homes lost to tax foreclosure must be improved to ensure this doesn’t happen again.

Pugh knew the family who lived in the home and lost it to back taxes. She said they lived in the home more than five years.

Although the family might have technically been trespassing, Pugh said it “wasn’t like they were walking down the street and said, ‘Hey, there’s an empty house; let’s move in.'”
