WYOMING, Mich. — A man who is accused of shooting a Wyoming gas station employee multiple times has been arraigned.
Niko Rey Mena, 20, of Wyoming, was charged Friday with assault with intent to murder, carrying a concealed weapon and carrying a firearm while committing a felony.
He was arraigned Monday. If convicted, Mena could spend up to life in prison.
Police said the shooting happened around 5:40 p.m. on March 6 at the Admiral gas station on 32nd Street SW and Division Avenue S.
Responding officers found a 36-year-old Grand Rapids man, Willis Booker, who police said works at the gas station, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Probable cause documents state Mena went inside the gas station with his gun, talked to Booker and then followed him out of the store and shot at him.
Booker was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
Mena will appear in court on Wednesday, March 20 for a probable cause conference. The judge denied Mena bond, believing him to be a danger to society. The possibility of a bond will be discussed at his next hearing.
