The weekend shooting death of a 21-year-old Novi woman Tia Joe has been ruled a homicide, Novi Police Chief David Molloy said Monday. Her young boy remains in critical, but stable, condition

“We are not prepared to go into the details,” Molloy said. “We believe this to be an isolated incident. It could potentially be a domestic type of situation. We are very early in the investigation.”

Molloy said an autopsy report from the Oakland County Medical Examiner Office indicated a gunshot wound was the cause of death.

Novi police officers have not arrested anyone since the homicide happened along Rousseau Drive in the Oakland Glens mobile home community at 13 Mile and Novi roads.

On Monday morning, the crime scene tape was gone. A screen door was hanging open and black residue was on the door. Some spots had circles around them with the following written nearby: "pheno neg am".

Neighbors said they didn’t really know the deceased 21-year-old woman when they heard screaming coming from her home early Sunday morning.

“I heard screaming, then ‘Oh, my God!’” Deana Linegar said.

Neighbors said the screaming started around 3 a.m. One peeked outside but didn’t see anything. Another was smoking on her porch but didn’t think it was safe to check on the screaming and calls for help.

Novi police continue to investigate why they were dispatched to the home shortly before 4:30 a.m. Sunday morning. They arrived to find the dead woman and an injured child of about six months old.

Neighbors said they lived there with the woman’s mother. Molloy said no one else resided there. A woman who refused to provide her name said she would occasionally see the 21-year-old woman sitting with a man in a car outside her residence.

Tom Abele has lived near the mother and daughter since June. He said the mother and daughter liked to host barbecues and decorate the home for Halloween. They kept to themselves, leaving him surprised Sunday morning.

“I woke up and the whole place was a crime scene,” Abele said.

Neighbors say the mobile home park can seem safer than others. Yet it has its problems, such as drinking, pedestrians and parking outside homes at night.

On Jan. 4, 2018, Heather Dixon, 32, was found dead at her home in the mobile home park. Her husband Derrick Dixon was sentenced to 35-80 years in prison after entering a no-contest plea to a second-degree murder charge.
