Grand Rapids police say the body recovered from the Grand River has been identified as Jamel Parker, who was missing for more than a month.
Authorities pulled Parker’s body from the river Friday afternoon in the 1500 block of Scribner Avenue NW after someone noticed a body in the water.
It’s unclear how Parker died. Police say his death remains under investigation.
Parker, 31, disappeared on Feb. 12. The Grand Rapids Police Department said he was last seen around 3 a.m. running from the 1500 block of Broadway Avenue NW on the city’s West Side.
His family had recently increased the reward money for information on his whereabouts to $10,000.
