A 7-year-old Michigan girl is dead, and her 13-year-old sister is in police custody after officers found the victim lying inside her home with several stab wounds.

The Taylor Police Department was called to a home around 1 p.m. on Saturday to investigate a domestic dispute. 

Officers arrived to find a 7-year-old girl with stab wounds, police said, and she was rushed to the hospital where she later died.

WJBK spoke to several neighbors who were stunned to hear what happened.

“When my grandma told me, I was horrified because they were best friends, they would always play together. They had My Little Pony toys, and they would play with each other,” “Matthew,” an acquaintance of the sisters, told the local station.

Police said they are not releasing many details at this time due to the nature of the crime and that they are handling the situation with sensitivity, given the involvement of minors.

Neighbors shared more details with WJBK about the sisters and seeing them in the neighborhood.

“Once in a while, I would come over here to my grandma’s and I would see the little girl riding her bike down the street, and I’d go play with her,” Matthew said. “All she wanted to do was be friends with everyone.”

Fox News Digital reached out to the Taylor Police Department for comment on the situation.

The No. 12 Michigan Wolverines survived a close game against the Minnesota Golden Gophers to keep the Little Brown Jug in Ann Arbor. It was another tale of two halves for Michigan on offense, defense, and even in some ways special teams.

Linebacker Cole Sullivan burned his redshirt in this one, getting playing time in his fifth game of the season. The coaching staff continues to see things they like from Sullivan, and he even registered a tackle. He’s the only freshman to start in every game this season, and it appears he’ll continue to have more chances to prove himself.

Michigan also missed starters Will Johnson and Josaiah Stewart in this one. With the Stewart injury, freshman Dominic Nichols stepped up and played some snaps at the edge position in addition to his special teams roles. He’s a player with a lot of potential, but is playing behind some of the best at the position in Stewart and Derrick Moore.

Here’s who’s had a chance to play as a true freshman this season. An asterisk (*) indicates they saw playing time against Minnesota:

• RB Jordan Marshall (1 game)
• OL Andrew Sprague (1 game)
• OL Jake Guarnera (1 game)*
• TE Hogan Hansen (3 games)*
• LB Cole Sullivan (5 games)*
• EDGE Dominic Nichols (2 games)*
• DL Manuel Beigel (1 game)
• DB Mason Curtis (1 game)*
• DB Jo’Ziah Edmond (1 game)*

Unfortunately, one of Michigan’s most exciting true freshmen didn’t see any playing time against the Gophers. Running back Jordan Marshall is still out with an injury. He’s a player with a lot of potential, but the injury has limited him to just one game so far in 2024.

Another freshman offensive lineman made his debut on the field goal unit. Offensive lineman Jake Guarnera is a 6-foot-4 lineman from Florida who was recruited to play center. It’s nice to see him see some game action this year as he works towards being the center of the future for Michigan.

Defensive backs Mason Curtis and Jo’Ziah Edmond also made their debuts in this one. Curtis mostly played linebacker in high school, but is now a defensive back at Michigan. Edmond was recruited as a cornerback out of high school, where he was the fifth-ranked player from Indiana. Both played on special teams for the Wolverines in the win.

Hogan Hansen is also still getting playing time, but with Colston Loveland returning, he won’t likely have as many opportunities moving forward.

Michigan heads to Washington for its first road game of the 2024 season. While the Huskies are also dealing with some growing pains this season with new head coach Jedd Fisch, it’s not an easy environment to play.
