The Grand Rapids Police Department investigated the double homicide and, after pursuing numerous leads over several months, arrested 25-year-old Deiontreay Darrell Craft. Craft was charged with two counts of open murder, felony firearm charges, carrying a concealed weapon, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Judge Christina Elmore sentenced Craft to life in prison without parole on the murder convictions, plus an additional four to five years for the firearm offenses.
