GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — One person is dead and another is in police custody after an attack Monday morning in Grand Rapids.
Police were called to a home on Palmer Street between Center Avenue and Coit Avenue around 11:00 a.m. on March 9 for an assault.
Officers found two men at the scene, one who needed emergency medical attention. That man was pronounced dead.
The other man was taken into custody as a suspect in the attack. The two men knew each other before the assault and there is no on-going threat to the neighborhood, according to the Grand Rapids Police Department.
A neighbor shared several videos captured after the attack on Monday. The earliest video showed a man lying unresponsive in the front yard of a home with a woman appearing to make a phone call. Another clip captured a man carrying a baseball bat walking down the sidewalk back to the man lying in the grass. The woman on the phone stepped in and the man with the bat made his way back up the road.
Later videos showed police officers arresting the man with the bat and giving emergency aid to the unresponsive man.
FOX 17 is only using a portion of the video due to the graphic nature of the footage. We have also blurred the man with the bat, since he has not been charged as of Monday afternoon.
