On the evening of February 5, 2022, 19-year-old JaShon Angel Large was sitting alone in his vehicle near Hall Street and Phillips Avenue SW in Grand Rapids when another car pulled up alongside. Multiple gunshots struck JaShon in the head and torso. First responders found him gravely wounded and he was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital, where he later died of his injuries.

The Grand Rapids Police Department investigated for many months. In September 2023 an arrest was announced: 20-year-old Daquin Damar Freeman was taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder, felony firearm and additional weapons offenses in connection with JaShon’s death.

What details about that night or the investigation might help explain what happened to JaShon?
