A "potential witness" in the Paul DeWolf homicide case came forward Thursday afternoon and was being interviewed at the Ann Arbor Police Department, officials confirmed.
"The Ann Arbor police are no longer looking for the potential witness as he voluntarily came to the police department today," Lt. Robert Pfannes stated in a release.
Police conducted an interview, but don't think the man knows anything.
"This person is not believed to be connected to the case in any manner," Pfannes said in the release.
A picture of the man taken from security camera footage from a building in the same Ann Arbor neighborhood where DeWolf was found dead appeared on AnnArbor.com Thursday morning. Police say he was seen on July 23 in the same area of the 200 block of North Ingalls Street where DeWolf was killed inside his apartment at the Phi Rho Sigma medical fraternity.
DeWolf was found dead the next day from a single gunshot wound. No firearm was found in the apartment and nothing seemed disturbed in the room, police have said. The case is being investigated as a homicide.
The Schoolcraft, Mich., native was a 2010 graduate of Grand Valley State University, where he was a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon. DeWolf had just completed his third year of medical school at the University of Michigan and was studying to be a surgeon. He was set to graduate in May 2014.
DeWolf was a reserve officer in the Medical Services Corps of the United States Air Force serving as a medical student under the the military's Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP), according to officials.
