WALKER, Mich. (WOOD) — A man died after being found shot in a car near the DeltaPlex in Walker Monday morning, police say.
The Walker Police Department said its officers went to the area of Hillside Drive NW and Ferris Street NW around 4:15 a.m. on report of a man who had been shot.
There, police said, officers found the 36-year-old Grand Rapids in a car. He was rushed to the hospital, where he died. His name was not released Monday afternoon.
Police said it’s unclear where the shooting actually happened. They said details were limited while they investigated the homicide.
Neighbors say they’re on edge after the shooting. One neighbor who lives about a block away from where the car was found, Joann Kanady, told News 8 she was surprised to hear the sirens.
“I didn’t realize it was down here. I thought it was at the other end and then my daughter was reading about it … (over the) phone and I said, ‘Geez, you’re kidding me,'” she said.
Neighbors say they’re concerned and want to know more as the area is residential with many small children.
“I’ve lived here for years, we’ve never had this,” Kanady said. “But shootings go on everywhere.”
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Walker Police Department at 616.791.6788 or Silent Observer at 616.774.2345.
