Suspect Arraigned In Death of Library Security Guard

A Saginaw man was arraigned last week in the shooting death of a Bridgeport Township man near the Hoyt Library.

Police say 37-year-old Derrick Grant shot and killed 38-year-old Henry Ford in the 500 block of Janes Avenue on September 10. Ford worked as a security guard at the library, though police say the shooting was related to a personal matter and was not work related.

According to police, Grant was wanted on a warrant for assault for threatening his own father with a gun.

Grant is charged with open murder, felonious assault, and felony firearm and has pleaded not guilty to the charges. He’s being held in the Saginaw County Jail without bond.
