MUSKEGON, Mich. — Three juveniles and one adult are in custody after a 14-year-old was shot and killed in Muskegon.
The Muskegon Police Department says officers were called to Jiroch Street around 10:50 a.m. on Wednesday for the report of a possible gunshot victim.
When officers arrived, they say they found a 14-year-old boy had been shot in the torso.
The teen died at the scene.
The Muskegon Police Department says the investigation is ongoing, but the Muskegon County Prosecutor's Office says the arrests were made Wednesday.
