The shooting happened around 6 p.m. Sept. 1 on Madison Avenue at Dickinson Avenue SE. A detective testified before a Grand Rapids judge Tuesday that the shooter was “lying in wait” for the victim when he came out of a convenience store.
“(The shooter) ran up behind (the victim), started shooting him, shot him multiple times in his body,” including in the chest, the detective said, a transcript of the testimony shows.
The victim’s mother stepped out of her car and was “just missed” by gunfire, the detective said. Her car was hit. The shooter took off.
