Grand Rapids Police Chief Eric Winstrom calls two fatal shootings in the Baxter neighborhood “out of character” for the community, highlighting a troubling pattern of violence. The most recent incident occurred just after 2:00 a.m. on Labor Day weekend, where a man in his late thirties was shot multiple times, following the death of 38-year-old Randy Campbell in a similar location just weeks prior.
Winstrom acknowledges that although gun-related deaths in the city have decreased slightly this summer compared to previous years, these two shootings have raised alarms among residents and law enforcement. The chief emphasizes that the neighborhood has made significant strides toward safety and is investigating whether there is any connection between the two tragic events, which he hopes will remain isolated in the future.
