Jalen Braswell-Thompson, 20, was found unresponsive with a fatal gunshot wound to the chest on Thursday, May 28, 2015, in the 500 block of Howard Street SE in Grand Rapids. The discovery came about 7 a.m.; a bystander performed CPR before emergency crews transported him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Identified as Jalen Christopher Braswell-Thompson, born December 17, 1994, he was described as a son, brother and friend. Police opened a homicide investigation and at the time of initial reports had not made any arrests or publicly identified suspects. News reports noted he was scheduled to appear in court later that day on a cocaine delivery charge.

No further information about a motive or the person responsible has been released. Does anyone who was in the Howard Street SE area that morning or who knew Jalen have information that could help investigators?
