LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State University trustees say they have been the target of threats and online harassment after personal information was posted on social media, prompting police responses to some board members' homes.

According to trustees, addresses and phone numbers were shared online this week, leading law enforcement officers to investigate the source of the threats. The incidents come during a period of significant leadership turnover at the university following the departures of former President Kevin Guskiewicz and Athletic Director J Batt.

Meanwhile, Lansing police and prosecutors announced a murder charge in connection with a shooting that occurred earlier this month.

A 19-year-old woman who was shot in the 2700 block of Moores River Drive around 3 a.m. on June 5 has died from her injuries, according to Lansing Police Department officials.

The Ingham County Prosecutor’s Office said 18-year-old Jovonathan Mitchell has been arraigned on charges of open murder and other firearm-related offenses. His next court appearance is scheduled for June 25.

Prosecutors also announced animal cruelty charges against a suspect after more than two dozen cats and a dog were removed from a Lansing home on Indiana Avenue in April. The suspect could face up to seven years in prison if convicted and is scheduled for arraignment in two weeks.

In a separate and more severe animal cruelty case, authorities in Lapeer County reported that a woman has been charged after more than 70 cats were found dead inside a home in Dryden. Nearly 30 additional cats were rescued from the property. Investigators were alerted after FedEx drivers reported a strong odor coming from the residence.

On the federal level, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. visited Macomb County on Wednesday to announce more than $700 million in new federal funding aimed at combating drug addiction and homelessness nationwide.

Kennedy cited statistics showing that more than one million Americans have died from drug-related causes since 2000 and that more than 770,000 people experience homelessness on any given night. His stop in Clinton Township followed a visit to Charlotte earlier this week, where he participated in a roundtable discussion focused on healthy eating.

Back in Lansing, city officials are preparing to open a new training tower at the Lansing Fire Department’s public safety and district court complex on South Washington Avenue. A grand opening ceremony is scheduled for Thursday afternoon.

Juneteenth celebrations are also continuing across the Capital City. Events scheduled for Thursday include a wellness seminar at the Cadillac Room as part of Michigan State University’s observances, along with the Dr. Clyde D. Carnegie Essay Scholarship and Art Competition Program at the Michigan Library and Historical Center.

Local officials say the events are designed to celebrate the history, culture, and contributions of African Americans while bringing the community together through education and engagement.
