Mervin Bonner II was 18 and preparing to start classes at Muskegon Community College when he was killed the evening of August 25, 2019. Known as Lil Merv, Bonner was picked up from his home around 8:00 p.m., and about two hours later was found on 7th Street with a fatal gunshot wound to the head. A solitary shoe and a trail of blood at the scene suggested he had been running before he was shot.

Family and friends remembered him as an honor student and a positive influence in his church community. A vigil brought the neighborhood together to mourn and to urge witnesses to come forward, with many saying people in the community likely held information about what happened.

The investigation named several people of interest and charged individuals for their roles in the case. Does anyone who knew Mervin or was in Muskegon that night have information that could help clarify what happened?
