On the morning of December 22, 2020, 28-year-old Unique Camreil Evans was walking on a sidewalk in Grand Rapids’ Heritage Hill neighborhood when he was shot near Prospect Avenue SE and Cherry Street SE at about 11:15 a.m. He was transported to a nearby hospital and died of his injuries.

Police followed a lead to the city’s West Side later that afternoon and attempted to stop a vehicle around 1 p.m. The driver fled, ending in a crash at Hamilton Avenue NW and 11th Street NW. The uninjured driver was taken into custody and identified as 25-year-old Calvin Stewart. The Kent County Prosecutor authorized a four-count felony warrant charging Stewart with Open Murder, Felony Firearm, Felony in Possession of a Firearm, and Habitual Offender – 4th Offense; he was booked into the Kent County Correctional Facility awaiting arraignment in 61st District Court.

Does anyone who knew Unique or who was in the Heritage Hill area that morning have information that could help the investigation?
