Three men have been charged in the murder of a Michigan marijuana business owner who was shot dead at his work in the first homicide of 2025 in Oakland County.
On Monday night Sam Simko, 66, was found with a fatal gunshot wound at his business on the 1000 block of University Drive in Pontiac. Deputies were dispatched to the location after Simko’s business partner found Simko had been shot and called 911, the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office said.
