GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Grand Rapids Police have identified the woman who was shot and killed Friday morning as Melissa Doris Moore, 31, of Holland.

Moore was killed at roughly 4:10 a.m. in the area of Knapp and Truxton NE.

Investigators said a city street sweeping crew called 911 after witnessing part of the incident.  They were clearing debris at the time of the shooting. Moore was dead when officials arrived at the scene.

Witnesses told police they saw someone shoot Moore, then get into a dark colored vehicle and speed off; investigators are unclear if there was anyone else with the shooter.
