MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, Mich. — A man has died today after a shooting at a hotel.
Police were dispatched to the Clarion Inn & Suites in Muskegon Heights at around 11:30 a.m. today, according Joseph Thomas, chief of the Muskegon Heights Police Department, this afternoon.
They found a victim with multiple gunshot wounds in a room on the hotel's second floor.
He was in his late teens or early 20s.
A small-caliber firearm was used to shoot the man in the chest and face, according to Thomas. He was taken to a hospital, where he died from the wounds.
The Muskegon Heights Police Department is investigating the shooting and working on strong leads. Witnesses are cooperating with the police.
