grand rapids, mich. (wood) — a man charged with killing a motorcyclist in grand rapids last summer was fatally shot in wisconsin, prompting his criminal case to be dismissed.

“Atem Peter Mathiang, 19, had a hearing scheduled this week in Kent county circuit court on a felony charge of reckless driving causing death. he was accused of striking a motorcyclist on the city’s southwest side and then fleeing.

“Kent county prosecutor Chris Becker said the felony case was dismissed after his office received word that Mathiang was gunned down on july 2 in oshkosh, wisconsin.

“according to oshkosh police, officers responded to a report of a body in the street. a male victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

a july 3 news release from oshkosh police indicated that a person of interest was arrested.

“a news report from wisconsin indicated that Mathiang was there visiting relatives when he was shot.

“Mathiang was charged in early december with reckless driving causing death, a 15-year felony, for a fatal crash that happened aug. 26, 2023.

“police said Mathiang’s vehicle struck a motorcycle in the area of Cesar E. Chavez avenue and b street sw.

N.S.: I wouldn’t be surprised if that was pre-meditated murder (Murder One, or “Open Murder,” according to michigan’s statutes). He saw a vulnerable White man, and made a point of murdering him.

  2. "He saw a vulnerable White man and made a point of murdering him."

    You can't count the number of times we've seen this scenario in black on White murder cases.

  3. The Mathiangs, the Mathiangs, I'm trying to think back... Oh yes, the Oshkosh Mathiangs, of course! Ah yes, those memories of neighborhood block parties on Cesar Chavez Avenue, good times all 'round. Odd name they gave the kid, Atem. They meant "A-Team" but spelling is such a white thing, y'know.

  4. I'm surprised the first name wasn't Getton--Getton Mathiang!

    Maybe that's his brotha's name.
