KENT COUNTY (WKZO AM/FM) — A man sought for questioning in a double murder has died one week after he was taken into custody and the Kent County Medical Examiner says it looks like a foot chase with Officers may have caused his death.
43-year-old Norman Muhammed Jr. had been the target of a three week long manhunt after the murders of Germaine Brown and a child called King Talbert.
When investigators got word he was holed up in an apartment building in Kentwood, they surrounded the place. He made a run for it and was eventually chased down.
He complained after his arrest that he didn’t feel so well, and was admitted to a Grand Rapids Hospital in critical condition.
Police say he died Friday. More tests are being run but the preliminary autopsy determined that a chronic medical condition triggered by that run from police was what killed him.
