KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) — As 2025 comes to a close, The Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety is again asking the public for tips to solve homicide cases that happened over the past three years — most in 2023.
The department named eight homicide cases that they say remain a “top priority”: Markii Robinson, Marcus Tillman Jr., Chana Redden, Tarra Mayes, Alfred Simpson, Kenneth Pratcher, Ladarius Clay and Shaughqual Anderson.
Markii Robinson, 17, was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting on June 7, 2023. A 25-year-old suspect was arrested and charged with homicide in Oct. 2025 but the charges were dismissed.
