Michael Tripus

Green admits he entered the Paradise Township building in November of 2018 to talk to Michael Tripus, the building code officer for the township, about mold problems in his house. He then admits he shot him in the chest, and Tripus died at the scene. Green followed the victim into the building, and asked a secretary if he could speak to “Mike." Within minutes of being shown to Tripus’ office, Green pulled out a semi-automatic handgun from his coat pocket and shot the victim at close range while he sat at his desk. Suspect David Green pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and sentenced to 20-40 years in prison.
