Dylan Owens, 18, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of December 9, 2021, in Fruitport Township, Michigan. He was found inside a vehicle near Park Street and South 3rd Avenue about 2:55 a.m., suffering multiple gunshot wounds from which he died. The shooting grew out of ongoing conflicts between Owens and the person who shot him.

Authorities say Owens and 21-year-old Kevin Wilson of Fruitport had known each other for years, having been neighbors and briefly attending middle school together. The two arranged by text to meet at Pomona Park that night for a planned physical fight. Owens arrived with his girlfriend, Cheyenne Edwards, and a friend, Dominic Colegrove II. Witnesses reported Wilson was already parked with another person; when Owens approached and kicked a taillight, Wilson fired about five shots, striking Owens. Wilson called 911 and initially claimed he had been shot at and returned fire; investigators recovered shell casings matching Wilson’s gun.

Wilson was arrested, held at the Muskegon County Jail on $2 million bond, and charged with open murder and a felony firearm offense. At the time of his death, Owens was an expectant father and his family mourned the loss of him and his unborn child. Does anyone have information about the events at Pomona Park that night or knew the people involved?
