following the fatal shooting of a Kalamazoo resident Saturday night in the 400 block of East North Street.
At approximately 10:58 p.m., Public Safety Officers were dispatched to the area for a report of an altercation and large crowd, estimated at 200–250 people, that had gathered outside a business. While officers were on scene speaking with staff, a single gunshot
was heard.
