GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- The Grand Rapids Police have identified a 27-year-old man as a person of interest in the shooting death of a woman in downtown Grand Rapids on Wednesday afternoon.
Twenty-two-year-old Leah Gomez was shot repeatedly in a car along Commerce Avenue north of Wealthy Street SW.
The GRPD says there is an arrest warrant out for Luis Fabian Bernal-Sosa and he should be considered armed and dangerous. Police also say he is known to drive an early 2000s black Ford Ranger with an extended cab.
Investigators think the shooting was a targeted attack. A 10-year-old child in the car was not injured.
