It was double murder in GR (#3 and #4 of the year).
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A woman and her 2-year-old child grandson were killed in a shooting Wednesday in Grand Rapids.
Police have identified the victims as 46-year-old Germaine Brown and King Talbert.
Emergency responders were called to a residence on the 200 block of Montgomery Street SE, east of Jefferson Avenue, around 2:50 p.m. for a medical call. Upon arrival, responders found Brown and the child suffering from a gunshot wound. Brown was pronounced dead at the scene.
Brown’s husband called 911 to report the incident, was taken in for questioning by police and was released after determining he was not a suspect. Police don’t have anyone in custody at this time.
The child was taken to Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital, where he survived until 11:30 p.m., police said.
Police determined Brown resided at the home and was babysitting the child.
An autopsy will take place Thursday to determine the cause and manner of death, which police said they believe to be a gunshot wound.
GRA: Interesting case, in that who would shoot a 2-year-old?

Could both have been caught in crossfire?

Husband (so far) cleared on double murder. Have seen that initial indication of innocence and then....
Police are thinking this was not random. My interpretation, since this is a black area, is a possible retaliation--a hit on both.
We'll see.

N.S.: Wasn’t it Machiavelli who said when you kill your enemies, kill their children, as well, so they can never avenge their parents’ deaths?
That's REALLY called,"thinking ahead."Quite brilliant in it's evil foresight and though the black thug that committed these murders in GR never heard of Machiavelli,it very well could be what happened.Also,these kinds of murders usually ignite a month of other murders in retaliation.It happens repeatedly here.
ReplyDeleteThe one committed today on Straight Street--I wonder about being in that category of retribution.When they ID the vic,I'll let you know.Stay tuned.

This quote from the husband and grandfather of woman and 2 year old shot dead
ReplyDelete(WOODTV) Darrell Brown fears that he was the target.
“Whatever was on his mind it looked like it was against me,” Brown said. He was a coward.”
Brown said he has suspicions about who did it, but he can’t say for sure.
GRA:Like I said,a hit.Wonder what kind of criminal activity Darrell Brown was into--to warrant that kind of visit from a thug.This is why you don't want blacks in your neighborhood.What looks like an average situation--maybe from afar the blacks look somewhat normal(for whites)- is not.The patriarch has something going on that puts his family in potential danger.Unfortunately,for whites living around them,THAT is what's normal for blacks--and why it's preferable to avoid them at all costs.
