GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Grand Rapids Police identified two men who were shot and killed downtown near a popular entertainment area last weekend.
Law enforcement identified the victims as 28-year-old Jashaun Morgan and 31-year-old Eliot Flores, who were shot along Cesar Chavez Avenue around 1 a.m. on June 2.
The Kent County Medical Examiner completed their autopsies and ruled their deaths homicides.
Grand Rapids Police said the third man shot in the leg during this violence is expected to make a full recovery.
"The investigation is preliminary in nature, but we're confident that we've identified everyone involved," Grand Rapids Police Chief Eric Winstrom said. "And now, it's just a matter of piecing together the story of how these three individuals came to be together, if there was other people involved or not. We're still working on that. But, we think that all shooters have been identified."
Less than 24 hours later, another shooting happened just off Madison Avenue. The victim, police say, was a 15-year-old boy.
"A young boy, 15 years of age, was playing football with friends and he was shot numerous time and killed," Winstrom said. "Tragic incident."
Police are asking anyone with knowledge of the incidents to contact Grand Rapids police or submit a tip anonymously through Silent Observer.
