DETROIT—Charges could be announced Friday against a suspect being held in the fatal shooting this week of a Wayne State University police officer in Detroit.

Maria Miller, spokeswoman for Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy, said in an email Thursday morning that the prosecutor’s office had received a warrant request in connection with the shooting death of Wayne State Officer Collin Rose. Miller said late Thursday that there would be a decision on charges on Friday.

Rose, 29, was shot in the head Tuesday evening while on patrol near the Wayne State campus. The five-year veteran of the university police force died Wednesday evening in a hospital.

Detroit police said they arrested a suspect late Tuesday night a few blocks from where Rose was shot, but he had not been charged.
