GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- Kent County Prosecuting Attorney Chris Becker says Michigan State Police have turned over preliminary findings from their investigation into a Grand Rapids Police officer-involved shooting.
Da'Quain Johnson, 32, was shot dead February 18 during a scuffle in a parking lot near Eastern Avenue and Logan Street on the city's southeast side. That was after he fled from police on a bicycle, got off the bike and was bit by a K-9. Police say Johnson grabbed a handgun before being shot three times by an officer. Becker says he has requested follow-up information from State Police, while he conducts a comprehensive review of the incident.
Two GRPD officers are on administrative leave, which is standard policy during an officer-involved shooting investigation.
Becker sent WOOD Radio News a written statement that reads, in part:
"After discussing the case with them, I have already requested follow up on certain items, so the investigation is not complete. I am in the process of reviewing all of the materials they presented as well, since I just received the materials yesterday.
I am committed to conducting a comprehensive review of this incident, as I have in all such cases in the past, and will announce my decision when I have all of the information. I do not have a timeline for when that will be."
