GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — One person has died after a shooting in Grand Rapids on Thursday.
According to the Grand Rapids Police Department, officers were called to a shooting in progress around 9:30 p.m on the 400 block of Worden Street, near Madison Avenue.
Police showed up to find a man inside a house, shot multiple times.
First responders tried to save the man's life but were not able to and he died at the scene.
Chief Eric Winstrom says the shooting appears to be targeted.
"We can say there's a large group of people, there may have been a disturbance of some sort," Chief Winstrom told FOX 17, saying it's likely an argument broke out and turned deadly.
While the investigation is early, Chief Winstrom says he's hopeful the pieces will come together. "I don't think this is going to be unsolved. It just makes me angry that whatever the quarrel was ended in the way it did."
He said it's clear this was a blow for the community, saying the scene was an "emotional one."
"It's tough," he said. "It's going to be tough for this family and tough for this block, because this guy had a lot of people here that loved him. "
He said police are continuing to investigate. No suspect information is available at this time.
GRPD has identified the victim as 43-year-old Edward Antoine Kennedy. His death has since been ruled a homicide by the Kent County Medical Examiner.
