Man arraigned after allegedly shooting, injuring man at Kentwood apartment

Dimario Parker was charged with assault with intent to murder, carrying a concealed weapon and a felony firearms offense.

KENTWOOD, Mich. — A man faces charges after allegedly shooting and injuring a man in Kentwood Friday. 

Dimario Parker, 37, was arraigned at the 62B District Court Monday on charges of assault with intent to murder, carrying a concealed weapon and a felony firearms offense.

Police got the call at 4:12 p.m. at Woodland Creek Apartments, which is located near 32nd Avenue and East Paris Avenue. The caller said a man had shot into a vehicle.

Police say Parker and the victim, a 49-year-old Kentwood man, knew each other. They were apparently involved in an altercation before the shooting.

Kentwood and Grand Rapids Police arrested Parker at a Grand Rapids residence later that day. 

The victim was taken to a local hospital where he underwent surgery. He is still hospitalized as of Monday. 

Parker is being held at the Kent County Correctional Facility pending his next court appearance. 

David Beers, who lives at the complex, says he saw all the commotion and went to see what was happening.

"There's a red car over there with its windows shot out, it doesn't look good," Beers said.

Friday's shooting comes one day after two people were shot and killed, one in Grand Rapids and another in Wyoming.

On Thursday, a 43-year-old man, identified as Edward Antoine Kennedy, was shot and killed on Grand Rapids Southeast side.

The shooting happened around 9:25 p.m. Thursday on Worden Street between College and Madison avenues. 

Earlier in the day, a man was also shot and killed in Wyoming at ReNew Woodlake Apartments around 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
