GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A man will likely spend the rest of his life in prison after he was found guilty of murder in a 2022 shooting near a southside Grand Rapids bar.
On Thursday, 32-year-old Tiesean Hatchett was sentenced to between 75 and 115 years for murder, plus additional time for weapons charges, according to court records. Kent County jurors found him guilty in January of eight offenses, including second-degree murder.

The charges stem from a shooting that happened on Aug. 27, 2022 outside a bar near Stewart Street SW and S. Division Avenue in Grand Rapids. Hatchett and his co-defendant, Leonard Lee Young Jr., ran into 22-year-old DaCarri Brown at the bar and there was a dispute over about $200 for a room rental that Brown reportedly owned. Both defendants pulled guns and shots were fired, according to the Kent County Prosecutor and court records.
