  From 2001-2012 there were 219 work-related homicides in Michigan. In 2011, a male beauty supply owner in his 60s died from a gunshot wound to the head while working alone in his retail store. It was an early Tuesday morning when two individuals came into his store and shot and killed the store owner for merchandise that had little monetary value. The body was later found by nearby store owners. From 2001-2009 there was a downward trend in the number of work-related homicides, and then recently an increase in 2010 and 2012. Work-related homicides occurred in 25 of Michigan's 83 counties. Wayne, Jackson, Kalamazoo, and Genesee county had the highest incidence per 100,000 employed.
