GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (via WOOD TV 8) — One of Kent County’s youngest murderers found out Thursday he will be free in one year.
Jared Seagraves, who was 14 at the time, shot 20-year-old Michael Haminger in September 2012. Haminger, who was dating Seagraves’ sister, was allegedly shot after an argument over homework in front of the family home in Walker.
Seagraves pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sent to the Muskegon River Youth Home in Northern Michigan. While at the youth home, Seagraves earned his GED diploma and started taking community college courses. Seagraves, now 20, also learned he was on the autism spectrum.
Kent County Circuit Court Judge Paul Denenfeld described Seagraves record at the youth home as “sterling.” He determined Seagraves will spend one year in the Kent County jail followed by four years of reporting probation, which Seagraves must abide by a set of rules or face prison time.
