Timothy TJ Dodge Jr., 28, was fatally shot on the evening of December 4, 2023, in the 100 block of West Larch Avenue in Muskegon, Michigan. The shooting occurred about 5:15 p.m. A 36-year-old man was also wounded but suffered non-life-threatening injuries and transported himself to a local hospital. Authorities have described the attack on Dodge as targeted rather than random.

This was the second recent fatal shooting in the Dodge family: TJ’s younger brother, 25-year-old Ta’Rique Dodge, was killed in Grand Rapids on November 12, 2023. Family members remember TJ as a devoted, hardworking father who enjoyed riding motorcycles and grilling. No arrests have been announced and the Muskegon Police Department’s investigation is ongoing.
