VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, MI - Michigan State Police are continuing to investigate the officer-involved fatal shooting that occurred one week ago.

Lt. Mike Shaw said there are no new updates on the Sept. 30 incident that ended when troopers shot and killed 37-year-old Richard Parent, a white man from Flat Rock, after he turned toward troopers with a handgun.

Investigators are in the process of gathering statements and getting evidence to the lab, Shaw said.

They hope to submit a report to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office by next week, he said.

Just before 1 p.m. Sept. 30, a trooper stopped Parent for not wearing his seat belt in Taylor. Parent claimed he was a "sovereign citizen" and didn't need to cooperate, then fled in his truck.

The term "sovereign citizen" means the person doesn't recognize government authority. Later, police found Parent had no identification on him.

Parent led police on a chase down I-275 to Van Buren Township, where they stopped him just outside the Lower Huron MetroPark entrance.

Parent got out of his truck with a 9mm Glock handgun, ran into the treeline and took up a shooting stance.

Two troopers opened fire, hitting him in the side. He later died at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital.

Shaw said at this point, he doesn't know how many times the troopers fired and whether Parent fired his gun. One of the troopers is white and one is black.

A relation of Parent's could not be reached for comment.
