On January 17, 2018, two-year-old King Josiah Talbert and his 46-year-old grandmother, Germaine Brown, were found shot to death in their Montgomery Street SE home in Grand Rapids. Investigators ruled both deaths homicides and estimated the killings occurred between noon and 3 p.m. that Wednesday. A vigil followed as the Garfield Park neighborhood mourned the pair.

Police identified Norman Muhammad Jr. as a person of interest; he had been in a relationship with Brown and family members say she had expressed fear that he would harm her. Muhammad, a parole absconder with a prior conviction for assault with intent to commit murder, was arrested in Kentwood on February 9, 2018. He was never charged in the killings and died in custody from natural causes reportedly worsened after an attempt to flee.

No arrests or convictions have been reported in the deaths of King Josiah Talbert and Germaine Brown. Did anyone in the Garfield Park area have information about the couple’s movements that Wednesday afternoon?
