KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Two persons of interest in the shooting death of a man in Kalamazoo Tuesday night have been arrested on unrelated charges.
The Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety says details surrounding the arrests cannot be disclosed at this time, but the two were being investigated in the death of 53-year-old Mark Jackson of New Baltimore, Michigan.
At 10:25 p.m. Tuesday KDPS responded to multiple reports of shots fired involving an unresponsive male bleeding from the head in the 1000 block of Interfaith Boulevard. They say officers were confronted with a chaotic scene, including a crashed vehicle with bullet holes, multiple shell casings, and a small crowd of uncooperative onlookers.
Adjacent to that scene, officers found Jackson inside an apartment and rendered emergency medical aid with the assistance of Life paramedics. He was taken to an area hospital, but declared dead a short time later.
Their investigation has shown that the suspect shot at the occupants of the vehicle then fled on foot. None of the occupants were injured. However, one of the rounds found the front door of the apartment where Jackson was staying, with the bullet penetrating the door and striking Jackson.
