On the evening of November 4, 2024, Paris Anton Powe, 34, was found inside a Chevrolet Trailblazer near Egleston Avenue and Reed Court in Kalamazoo with a fatal gunshot wound. Officers arrived at about 10:25 p.m. and pronounced him dead at the scene.

A 40-year-old man was also found at the scene with a non-fatal gunshot wound. Investigators say both men had been with a third individual earlier that night and that the third person allegedly opened fire before fleeing on foot. Authorities identified a suspect, 35-year-old Norris Deshane Baker, who was on parole at the time and left Michigan after the shooting.

The Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety continued to pursue leads and asked anyone with information about the killing of Paris Powe to contact investigators.
