David Shayne Postawa, 31, was shot outside the Mills Street Market at Lake and Mills streets in Kalamazoo on August 29, 2022, at about 10:30 p.m. He was found with a gunshot wound to his face, transported to a nearby hospital, and later died of his injuries. He was born October 11, 1990, was a father, and was known locally as a rapper.

A video circulated on social media showing Postawa lying injured while bystanders recorded rather than rendered aid, a development his family said caused them additional pain. The Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety opened an investigation immediately; authorities called this the city’s fifth homicide of 2022. As of initial reports no suspects had been identified, no arrests announced, and the motive remained unclear.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety.
