Alexander Schuster, a 20-year-old White man, was killed by gunfire in Kalamazoo, Michigan in the early hours of June 15, 2023. Officers responded just after midnight to reports of a shooting on Hays Park Avenue near Portage Street and found Alexander with a gunshot wound; he was given lifesaving measures, taken to a local hospital, and later died of his injuries.

Police made an arrest the next day, June 16, and on June 20, 2023 the Kalamazoo County District Court charged two 19-year-old men, Malachi Glover and Demarqus Mills, with open murder in connection with Alexander’s death. City leaders issued a joint statement condemning the ongoing crisis of gun violence and its impact on families and the community.

In June 2026, Demarqus Mills, then 22, was convicted of armed robbery related to the incident and sentenced to 18 to 30 years in prison for his role in events that led to Alexander’s death. Who has information about Alexander, the shooting, or the people involved that could help fill in the remaining gaps?
