The owner of a popular Eastpointe restaurant was arraigned Tuesday in connection with the fatal shooting of his wife.
Joseph Palleschi, 55, was arrested over the weekend after police responded to reports of shots fired and found his 53-year-old wife, Karen, dead of a gunshot wound to the head
in their Clinton Township home. The shooting occurred at 2:42 a.m. Saturday, police said.
Palleschi, the owner of Villa Restaurant, sat silently with his hands folded while attorney Jeffrey Davis asked 41B District Court Judge Ryan Zemke to waive the formal reading of the open murder charge against his client. A not-guilty plea was entered on Palleschi's behalf.
