DOWAGIAC – Two people have been arrested in the shooting death of an individual.

Dowagiac Public Safety Director Stephen Grinnewald says his department received a tip, and obtained a search warrant which they executed at Hillcrest Apartments on Thursday. Officers found a 43 year old man who lived in an apartment, dead in a dumpster from a gunshot wound.

A 39 year old Dowagiac woman and a 41 year old Mishawaka woman were arrested at a home in South Bend. Grinnewald says officers believe the shooter was the victim's girlfriend. The initial investigation determined the couple argued on Monday, January 4. The man was shot either during or after the argument. The two women allegedly got help from a third person to place the victim in a dumpster.

The two suspects are being held in the South Bend City Jail.
