Waterford Township, MI – In a deeply unsettling case of domestic violence, S. Martin, a 25-year-old man, has been charged with first-degree murder after stabbing his 33-year-old fiancée, M. Myers, to death in their home. The incident took place on Friday, June 13, 2025, in Waterford Township, Michigan, and has left the community in shock.
Details of the Fatal Attack
According to Prosecutor K. McDonald, Martin called 911 himself following the brutal attack, calmly telling the dispatcher, “She’s right next to me, she’s not doing good.” Authorities later discovered that Martin had stabbed Myers multiple times, starting with her neck, then her chest, and finally in her arm.
First responders arrived at the scene around 3:41 p.m., finding Myers already deceased from multiple stab wounds. A medical examiner confirmed her death, and the suspected murder weapon was recovered from a sink inside the home.
Shocking Confession
During an interview with investigators, Martin made a disturbing admission: he had fantasized about killing Myers early in their relationship.
Although he initially claimed the attack was triggered by an argument over Myers “driving a wedge between him and his roommate,” detectives believe the underlying motive was far deeper and more sinister.
Detectives revealed that Martin had been planning the act for some time and had thoughts of killing her long before the fatal stabbing.
“This wasn’t just a heat-of-the-moment act,” a detective said during Martin’s initial court appearance. “He admitted to having thoughts of killing her long before this happened.”
Victim’s Life and Recent Milestone
The tragic attack took place just one week after Myers had started a new job as an assistant manager—a milestone she proudly shared on her Facebook.
In a heartbreaking post from February 23, Myers had shared a photo with Martin, captioned: “I’ll love you forever,” which now casts a haunting shadow over their relationship.
Charges and Legal Proceedings
Martin was charged with first-degree murder and denied bail. He is currently being held at the county jail and is scheduled to appear in court on June 27, 2025, for a probable cause conference. If convicted, Martin faces a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole.
A Reflection on Domestic Violence
This devastating case highlights the deadly consequences of domestic violence, an issue that remains a significant concern across the United States. Prosecutor McDonald emphasized that intimate partner violence is a leading cause of death for women aged 15 to 44.
Friends and family of Myers are mourning her sudden loss, and many are left grappling with the question: How could this tragedy have been prevented? Were there any warning signs that were missed?
As the investigation continues, this case serves as a stark reminder of the need to address domestic violence and its harmful effects on individuals and communities.
