No charges will be issued after an investigation into the death of a Howell man killed while hunting in northern Michigan in November.

Matthew Boeck, 29, who lived in Howell but was originally from Westland, was found dead on Nov. 16 in a wooded area in Oscoda County from a gunshot wound. It was the second day of the firearm deer season.

“The victim and person who shot him didn’t know each other but they were hunting near one another,” said Lt. Travis House, public information officer for the Michigan State Police’s 7thDistrict. “The investigation at the scene found evidence that the person who pulled the trigger didn’t know the other person was there.”
