Grand Rapids, Michigan – On August 25, 2022, Grand Rapids Police officers were sent to the area near Forrester Street and Bonita Drive SE around 1:45 a.m. to look for a suspect reportedly breaking into cars. The 911 caller said someone was walking around and looking into cars on his street.

After the officers got out of the car, they could be heard in the video saying, “Hey, hold up,” “stop,” and “come here.” They started running almost immediately, apparently giving chase, and soon called for the man to stop and show them his hands. The officers drew their sidearms. As the officers neared the man, the video appears to show him raise a gun toward one of them. Police say it was a loaded semi-automatic 9 mm handgun. The officer at whom the gun was pointed shouted an expletive. The bodycam video then recorded the sound of gunfire — between six and 10 shots.

The man was hit by multiple shots and was taken to a hospital where he was listed in serious condition. He is expected to survive and was alert and conscious as of August 25, 2022.

Neither officer was injured.
