Bryce Salter was 21 when he was fatally shot in a Kalamazoo strip mall parking lot near Western Michigan University on November 11, 2022. He loved cooking, traveling, and music, and was a son, brother, and a new father to a four-month-old daughter he never met.

Surveillance footage showed 29-year-old Damien Lang approach his own vehicle and engage Salter in an altercation; Lang said he thought Salter was trying to steal his car. During the dispute Lang produced a firearm, knocked Salter to the ground, and then shot him. Lang was arrested and faced multiple charges including an open murder charge and felony weapons counts.

Salter’s family remembered him as respectful and humble; his father spoke about the loss and the fact his granddaughter would only know her father through others’ memories. Does anyone have information about Salter’s movements that night or saw what happened in the parking lot?
