The attack occurred in Lyon Township after Malec was lured to a wooded trail by Jessica Kropiewnicki, someone he considered a friend. Simons then attacked Malec with a bat, striking him multiple times in the head.

Kropiewnicki, was originally charged with assault with intent to murder and pleaded no contest in 2020. She was set to be sentenced to five years in prison under a plea deal, but then disappeared for three weeks after cutting her electronic tether the day before she was to be sentenced. She was eventually taken into custody and sentenced to 15-30 years in prison.
