ALPINE TOWNSHIP, Mich. — The Kent County Sheriff's Office is investigating after a shooting left one woman dead and two others injured Saturday morning on the northern end of the Grand Rapids metro area.
Deputies were dispatched around 2:30 a.m. to Northwest Tabor Road in Alpine Township after a neighbor in the Westgate Village Townhouses reported a loud noise and requested a wellness check on a nearby house. The sheriff's office then got another call reporting the shooting, this time from one of the victims.
When they got to the scene, deputies found two victims with serious injuries —a 30-year-old woman and a 36-year-old woman who were treated and hospitalized. Deputies also found a third woman between 50 and 60 years old, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
The two surviving victims are in stable condition.
Deputies say the incident probably started as a domestic dispute.
Investigators spent more than 4 hours searching for a suspect who drove off from the scene. Described as a man in his forties, deputies took him into custody around 7:00 a.m.
No other suspects are believed to be involved in the shooting, per the sheriff's office.
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to contact the Kent County Sheriff's Office at (616) 632-6100. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Silent Observer at (616) 774-2345.
