Updated: Macomb Murder Suspect 'Ready to Go Out in a Blaze of Glory'

Updated. LENOX TOWNSHIP, MI — Jeremiah James Boshell, who is suspected in the murder of his girlfriend, was “ready to go out in a blaze of glory” and was wearing a tactical vest loaded with ammunition and carrying an assault-style rifle when authorities arrested him in Lapeer County Tuesday evening, according to media reports.

Boshell had planned to “take out” two other people” at an auto repair shop in Lapeer County, Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham said Wednesday at a news conference.

“He had a mission, a plan on who was going to be taken out,” Wickersham said, according to reports by the Detroit Free Press and The Macomb Daily.

When he was arrested, Boshell, 36, had the 9-mm handgun believed to have been used to kill his girlfriend, 38-year-old Lisa Ann Fabbri, of Macomb Township, as well as an AR15 and a shotgun.

Wickersham alleged that Boshell had fired one of the weapons at unmarked Michigan State Police and Lapeer County sheriff’s vehicles during a chase near a Lapeer County auto repair shop, where he had planned to kill two workers. The intended targets weren’t at the shop, the sheriff said. Boshell was apprehended when he crashed his pickup during the chase.

Authorities were called to the 60000 block of Frost Road about 8:15 a.m. Tuesday after receiving a report from the homeowner of a dead woman in the driver’s seat of a 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser, which was parked on the property.

Wickersham said Fabbri purchased the AR15 and shotgun last year, but the handgun was registered to someone else. Authorities aren’t sure how Boshell obtained it.

Fabbri died of a single gunshot wound to the head and may have been killed between 5:15 p.m. and 5:45 p.m. Monday. A neighbor heard screaming and a gunshot, but did not call police, Wickersham said.

Wickersham said Fabbri and Boshell have a 16-year-old child together.

Authorities named Boshell a person of interest in Fabbri’s death Tuesday and warned that he was likely armed and dangerous. He has a criminal record dating back to 1997, and Michigan Department of Corrections online records indicate he has served prison time for offenses in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties. Offenses included felony firearms offenses, escape from felony jail, fleeing a police officer, operating under the influence and assault with a dangerous weapon.

He was released from prison in May 2014.

The sheriff did not give a motive for Fabbri’s killing or say why he allegedly targeted the two auto shop workers.

Boshell was expected to be charged in Lapeer County Wednesday on counts of fleeing and eluding, attempted murder and felon in possession of a firearm.

Macomb County charges could include murder, but are pending the completion of lab work that could connect the 9mm handgun found in Boshell’s pickup to the bullet that killed Fabbri.
