Woman, infant in stable condition after deadly Portage shooting

The 22-year-old victim has been identified as Naya Reynolds. The other woman and the infant are in stable condition, according to police.

PORTAGE, Michigan — A man was arrested and another suspect is at large after two women and an infant were shot Friday night, Portage Public Safety confirms. 

Police responded to a shooting between two cars on the Oakland Drive westbound entrance ramp of I-94 around 10:50 p.m.

When first responders arrived at the scene, they found two women and an infant suffering from gunshot wounds. 

A 22-year-old woman from Kalamazoo was transported to Borgess Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. She has been identified as Naya Reynolds.

Reynolds was a student at Western Michigan University, the school said in a release.

The pregnant woman and the infant were transported to Bronson Hospital. Both the baby and the woman remain in stable condition, according to police. The unborn child was not injured in the shooting.

A 42-year-old man from Kalamazoo was spotted trying to leave the area after the shooting and enter a passing car. He was arrested near the scene on unrelated warrants. Police say he is not cooperating with the investigation. 

A second suspect vehicle believed to be involved in the shooting is still on the loose. Witnesses originally described it as a dark-colored Pontiac Grand Am, but police say the suspect vehicle is now believed to be a small to mid-size black SUV.

Police found an AR-15 rifle at the scene that was reported stolen from Kalamazoo County in 2016.
