In the early morning of November 12, 2023, 25-year-old TaRique Dodge was shot on McReynolds Avenue NW in Grand Rapids and was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening gunshot wounds. He died shortly after arrival, and the Kent County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide.

The Grand Rapids Police Department identified several people believed to have been involved and later focused on a single suspect, 25-year-old James Goins. On November 24, 2023, the Kent County Prosecutor charged Goins with Open Murder and Felony Firearm; he surrendered that morning and was booked at the Kent County Jail. Goins’ attorney, Kenneth Stovall, has said the defense will argue self-defense and maintained his client’s innocence.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who saw activity on McReynolds Avenue NW that night or have other information about TaRique Dodge’s final hours?
