HOLLAND, Mich. — Authorities have identified the victim in a Holland homicide earlier this week.

The incident happened Monday night near 22nd Street and Michigan Avenue, according to the Holland Department of Public Safety (HDPS).

We’re told two people were shot and taken to a local hospital after a fight in the parking lot of Moran Park Church.
