Michael Robert Musson, 22, of Round Lake, Illinois, died on September 2, 2016, after a confrontation with a veteran female Round Lake police officer shortly after 11 p.m. Officers had been called to the 0 to 100 block of North Magillis Drive for reports of a man banging on doors and trying to force his way into homes. When the officer encountered Musson he was armed with a shard of glass and a physical struggle followed; the officer discharged her duty weapon, striking Musson multiple times. He was pronounced dead at the scene despite life-saving measures.

The Lake County Coroner recorded four gunshot wounds and facial abrasions and contusions; toxicology showed LSD in his system and the coroner ruled the death a homicide. The officer was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and was placed on paid administrative leave while the Lake County Major Crime Task Force investigated. The task force’s findings were to be reviewed by the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Musson had prior contact with law enforcement: in August 2013 he was charged after an altercation with a Lake County Sheriff’s detective during a drug investigation and later pleaded guilty to an enhanced felony resisting a peace officer charge, receiving 24 months probation. Does anyone have additional information about Musson’s activity that night or witnessed the incident on North Magillis Drive?
