On November 6, 2023, three people were shot in the Burton Heights neighborhood of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Nineteen-year-old Malik Eubanks was found fatally shot and left in the street on Horton Avenue SE. Nearby on Melville Street SE, 20-year-old Anayia Rodriguez was also found shot to death. The Kent County Medical Examiner ruled both deaths homicides.

About a mile from those scenes, Eubanks’s two-year-old son was found wandering alone; the toddler was physically unharmed but had blood on him and was later reunited with his mother. While police were finishing work at the initial scenes, a third fatal shooting was reported in the same neighborhood: 32-year-old Darryl Yarber was found dead of a gunshot wound. Authorities noted the proximity in time and location but did not publicly establish a definitive connection between Yarber’s death and the double homicide.

Investigators later arrested 19-year-old Casey Harmon Jr. Court documents say Harmon and Eubanks knew each other and that investigators linked Harmon to the crimes through items including a gun found by a passerby and a distinctive NBA-logo jacket with blood on it that matched photos of Harmon; police alleged Harmon took Eubanks’s vehicle with the child inside after the shooting.

Does anyone in Burton Heights have information about the events of November 6, 2023, or recall seeing the distinctive jacket or the vehicle that night?
