On the evening of August 26, 2023, 24-year-old Marcell Savon Alguarelles-Bell was shot multiple times in the 1600 block of East Stockbridge Avenue in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He was taken to a local hospital but died of his wounds. Before he died, Alguarelles-Bell identified the man who shot him.

The person named was 22-year-old Axel Armando Zuniga-Rivera of Kalamazoo. After the shooting Zuniga-Rivera fled Michigan. A warrant was issued, and law enforcement located and arrested him in Indianapolis on September 7, 2023, with assistance from U.S. Marshals. He was returned to Michigan to face charges in Alguarelles-Bell’s death.

A jury found Axel Armando Zuniga-Rivera guilty of first-degree murder, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and two counts of felony firearm. On January 10, 2025, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Does anyone have information about Marcell’s last known movements or who may have been with him that evening?
