KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety is investigating two separate, unrelated shootings that occurred within six hours of each other, leaving one man dead and another injured.
Tuesday around 7:30 p.m. KDPS officers responded to multiple 911 calls reporting gunshots in the 1400 block of North Rose Street. Public Safety Officers arrived and located an 18-year-old male with a grazing wound.
The victim stated he was riding his scooter home when he was shot at. He declined medical treatment and was unable to provide a suspect description.
Officers canvassed the area but were unable to locate any shell casings. No arrests have been made, and the suspect remains at large.
Just after 1:30 a.m. Wednesday a KDPS officer was flagged down about a possible shooting in the area of Riverview Drive and East Paterson Street. While enroute, dispatch received additional calls confirming the shooting.
When they arrived, officers found a 42-year-old male victim suffering from gunshot wounds to the head and abdomen. Officers initiated CPR, and the victim was transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead at 3:16 a.m.
Shell casings were recovered at the scene. KDPS says their Criminal Investigations Division has positively identified the suspect and they are “actively working to locate and apprehend the individual responsible.”
