Timothy Erickson Jr., 39, was found dead inside his apartment at The Orchards at Four Mile in Walker, a suburb of Grand Rapids, after family members requested a welfare check. Officers who entered the residence on March 23, 2024 discovered Erickson had suffered multiple gunshot wounds. An autopsy confirmed his death was a homicide and launched an investigation.

Detectives developed a suspect and in early April 2024 Walker police arrested 32-year-old Alexander Garcia. Court filings state Garcia confessed to shooting Erickson three times; the confession is described as consistent with scene evidence and the autopsy. Garcia was arraigned on Open Murder and a Weapons-Felony Firearm violation and held without bond as the case proceeded.

What details about Timothy’s last known movements or contacts could help clarify what led to that March 23 discovery?
