Port Huron Police have released the identity of the six year old boy who was shot and killed Monday night in a suspected murder-suicide by his father. Six year old Weston Keith Lagrow and his father, 35 year old Robert William Lagrow, were found dead at their Port Huron home around 8:30pm Monday. Captain Marcy Kuehn of the Port Huron Police Department says it all began with a concerned phone call from the child’s mother, which prompted a welfare check. The two were found dead inside the home from gunshot wounds. Port Huron Police believe Robert shot and killed his son with a handgun before turning the weapon on himself. Kuehn says counseling is available through St. Clair County Community Mental Health by calling 987-6911. The incident is still under investigation and those with any information on the crime are asked to call the CAPTURE tip line at 987-6688.
