ROSEVILLE, Mich. – Police are searching for a male suspect after a woman was found stabbed to death Wednesday morning in Roseville.

At about 6 a.m. on May 17, Roseville police officers were reportedly dispatched to a Belle Tire store in the area of Gratiot Avenue and Masonic following reports that a person was down. Officers found a woman who had suffered several stab wounds and was unresponsive, police said.

The identity of the victim is currently unknown. Police only referred to her as “she.”
