Naquie Malik Mitz, 24, was shot and killed on May 24, 2022, near South Division Avenue and Cherry Street SW in Grand Rapids. Authorities later identified Jeffrey Craig, 27, as a suspect in the killing. On June 2, the Kent County Prosecutor’s Office charged Craig with open murder and related weapons offenses including felon in possession of a firearm, felony firearm, and carrying a concealed weapon.

Craig was located and arrested in Rockford, Illinois, on June 7 after a search that involved the Grand Rapids Police Department and U.S. Marshals offices in Grand Rapids and Chicago; he was taken into custody without incident and awaited extradition to Michigan. During a July 2022 preliminary hearing, video evidence was shown that reportedly captured the moments before the shooting and allegedly shows the shooter retrieving a firearm from a bag.

If anyone witnessed the May 24 shooting or has information about Naquie Mitz’s final movements, please come forward.
