He and his partner were called to the 11200 block of Corbette in the report there was a group of men gambling on the sidewalk. When they arrived, Officer Stewart discovered one man was carrying a concealed handgun. As Officer Stewart was cuffing the suspect, another man approached Officer Stewart from behind and fired one shot at his head. Officer Stewart was rushed to St. John Hospital where he died several hours later from his wound.
The suspect fled the scene but turned himself in the following day. The man was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole.

Just another day sitting at my desk. I look over at the photo on my desk of us working the Red Wings Stanley Cup game in 2002. You were the originator of the selfie. I miss you so much and think of you often. I had so much fun working together. Miss you my friend.
