In the early hours of July 25, 2017, 31-year-old Gabriel Juarez-Montanez was found in the parking lot of the Edison House Apartments on Portage Street in Kalamazoo with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Bronson Methodist Hospital and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety classified his death as a homicide.

Investigators tied the shooting to a volatile love triangle involving Juarez-Montanez, his on-and-off girlfriend Kelsey Boodt, and another man, Cornell Head Jr. Witnesses reported one or two people fleeing on foot after the shots. Statements indicated Juarez-Montanez approached a vehicle where Head and Boodt were seated; Boodt’s statements implicated Head. A forensic medical examiner testified Juarez-Montanez sustained two gunshot wounds to the chest, with a bullet passing through his hand.

A jury later convicted Cornell Head Jr. of second-degree murder and related weapons charges. Does anyone have information about the events that night or knew Gabriel personally?
