CLINTON TOWNSHIP — A smoke shop owner whose business caught fire and exploded in March, showering the area near 15 Mile Road and Groesbeck Highway with debris and killing a 19-yearold Clinton Township man, was arraigned April 25 on an involuntary manslaughter charge. Prior to the arraignment, he was reportedly apprehended with a one-way ticket to Hong Kong. Noor Noel Kestou, a 31-yearold Commerce Township resident, is the owner of the Goo Smoke Shop. Kestou Kestou’s business exploded during a fire on March 4, 2024. Thousands of cans of nitrous oxide and butane were stored in the building, according to a press release from the office of Macomb County Prosecuting Attorney Peter Lucido. The manslaughter charge carries a maximum sentence of 1 5 years.
