HARRISON TWP., Mich. – An Oakland County man accused of fatally shooting his 23-year-old fiancée in the home they shared has been sentenced this week to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Michael Devon Webb, of Highland Township, was charged with first-degree murder in April 2025 for the death of Rachel Renee Wooten.
Police say Wooten was shot at their residence in the Highland Hills mobile home complex of Highland Road, suffering a single gunshot wound to her neck. Webb called 911, but Wooten was pronounced dead at the scene.

Though Webb claimed the shooting was accidental and occurred while he was “cleaning his gun,” the sheriff’s office said the evidence didn’t support that, and an Oakland County jury found him guilty of first-degree murder in July.
“I am proud of our investigators and team that responded to a tragic death and unraveled a false offered narrative to hold an individual accountable,” Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said in response to the case.
