Police release new clues and composite sketch
Gun shop homicide investigation continues; $10,000 reward

MARQUETTE -- Michigan State Police troopers investigating last Tuesday's gun shop homicide in Marquette Township said today guns and money were stolen in the incident and video surveillance camera footage shows the suspect walking from victim Robert Anthony Dusseau's car.

Investigators are releasing more information in their continuing effort to gain additional tips from the public about the crime and possible suspects.

Last Thursday, police released a composite sketch of a man described by a witness as having been at the Quik Cash and Guns LLC business on the afternoon of the killing.

That sketch, and a photograph of Dusseau's 2007 blue Pontiac Vibe have produced many tips from the public, which police are continuing to follow-up on.

Today, police released a second composite sketch of a man police described as a person of interest.

This person was said to have been at the gun shop, located along U.S.-41 West at 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Police think Dusseau, 27, of Ishpeming -- who was one of the owners of the business -- was shot and killed sometime after 4 p.m. that same day.

His body was later discovered buried in a snowbank outside the business.

The man in the new composite sketch is described by police as a white male in his late 20s or early 30s, wearing a tan-colored, hooded sweatshirt, with a zippered front.

Detectives said today a quantity of cash was taken from the business as well as a handgun, a long gun and a Swann DVR recorder with an 8-inch monitor.

Police have said they would like to hear from anyone who might have seen Dusseau's car between 5 and 8 p.m. last Tuesday.

Detectives today said the car was recovered from the parking lot of the Birchwood apartments, located along Werner Street in Marquette Township.

Police said Dusseau's car was parked in the lot by the wanted suspect at 7:30 p.m. last Tuesday. Video surveillance camera footage shows the suspect walking away from the vehicle in the area of Werner and Erickson Street.

The car has a hatchback and a Michigan license plate.

Investigators are asking the public for any information relating to the identification of the persons in the composite sketches and the identity of any person walking in the area of Werner and Erickson at 7:30 p.m. last Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has increased the amount of a reward being offered in the case from $5,000 to $10,000 for information resulting in the arrest and conviction of the person or persons involved in Dusseau's death.

Friends of Dusseau have set up a memorial fund for his surviving wife Carly, 26, at Wells Fargo Bank in Marquette. The Dusseaus moved to the area about a year and a half ago. They bought a house in Ishpeming last August and Carly is expecting a child.

Donations to the memorial fund may be made to account No. 1558703367 at Wells Fargo Bank, 101 W. Washington Street, Marquette, MI 49855.

To report tips, contact the state police at 475-9922.
