GRAND BLANC, MI – Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton has announced charges against a Grand Blanc woman in the shootings of two woman at a Grand Blanc apartment complex.

Jacquelyne Faye Tyson, 54-years-old, is charged with shooting Tamara Johnson, 45-years-old, and Lyric Work, 20-years-old, on Tuesday, July 26, 2016 while the two were working in their office at Grand Oaks Apartments.

According to investigative reports, police and other emergency personnel were dispatched to the scene at about 3:45PM on Tuesday after witnesses reported a woman had shot two women in the head. When authorities arrived, one officer observed Tyson outside the apartment office and clubhouse building and throw what appeared to be a handgun into a bush and then she raised both hands in the air and laid on the ground. She was then arrested without further incident.

When officers went inside the building, they discovered Johnson and Work each lying on the floor with gunshot wounds. Both were transported to Hurley Medical Center in Flint where Johnson was pronounced dead and Work was put on life support system. Work was pregnant and doctors were able to deliver her baby prematurely.

Tyson, who was a resident of Grand Oaks Apartments, is charged with first degree premeditated murder, assault with intent to murder, and two counts of felony firearm. She is lodged in the Genesee County jail.  She was arraigned on the charges Friday morning in 67th District Court.
