Press Release

Mount Clemens, MI – Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido announced that 25-year-old Antoine Paige, Jr. was arraigned on multiple felony charges related to a shooting and police chase.

It is alleged that on December 14, 2025, Paige fired multiple shots from a handgun at his cousin and her boyfriend, striking his cousin in the shoulder. Officers allegedly made contact with Paige while he was inside a vehicle. Paige reportedly ignored lawful commands and drove off the roadway in an attempt to flee. Eastpointe and St. Clair Shores police pursued the vehicle eastbound on I-94 at speeds exceeding 120 miles per hour. The pursuit ended when Paige’s vehicle was located crashed on North River Road.

Officers from the Eastpointe Police Department, St. Clair Shores Police Department, Warren Police Department, and the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office conducted a search of the area. Paige was subsequently located hiding in the water of a canal beneath a dock and taken into custody.

On Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2025, Paige was arraigned before Magistrate Mark J. Makowski at the 38th District Court in Eastpointe, MI. Paige is charged with the following:

  • Two Counts - Assault with Intent to Murder, a life or any term of years felony
  • Weapons - Firearms - Possession by a Prohibited Person, a 5-year felony
  • Weapons -Ammunition - Possession by a Prohibited Person, a 5-year felony
  • Carrying a Concealed Weapon, a 5-year felony
  • Three Counts - Weapons - Felony Firearm, a 2-year felony consecutive to main charge
  • Police Officer – Fleeing – Third-Degree – Vehicle Code, a 5-year felony
  • Police Officer – Assaulting/Resisting/Obstructing, a 2-year felony

Paige has a Habitual Offender – Fourth Offense Notice. This is an aggravating sentencing factor which may result in a sentence of life in prison. 

Magistrate Makowski set Paige’s bond at $1,000,000 cash/surety. If released, Paige must wear a steel-cuff tether. A Probable Cause Conference is set for Tuesday, Dec. 30, 2025, and a Preliminary Exam is set for Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2026, both at 8:00 a.m. before Judge Kathleen G. Galen.  

“The allegations in this matter are extremely serious. It is only by sheer luck that the two individuals who were allegedly shot at were not seriously injured or killed. As I have repeatedly made clear, fleeing from law enforcement will not be tolerated in Macomb County. My office will prosecute this case with the diligence and seriousness it demands,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
