A man allegedly murdered his grandmother Tuesday morning in Farmington Hills.

Police were called to the 31000 block of Middlebelt, north of 13 Mile, after receiving a 911 call around 7 a.m. When officers arrived, they found a woman in her 70s dead, while her grandson, who is in his 20s, was barricaded in a bedroom.

Officers used pepper-balls to get the man out of the house and take him into custody.

Police said it appears the victim was struck in the head, possibly with a blunt force object.
