Charges filed against suspect in Clancy Avenue shooting

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A suspect involved in a shooting earlier this month on Grand Rapids’ northeast side has been charged with assault with intent to murder.

The Grand Rapids Police Department announced Tuesday that charges have been filed against 29-year-old Edwin Junior Meyer. Jail records indicate he was lodged at the Kent County Correctional Facility on Monday. He is being held on a $100,000 bond.

The shooting happened on April 18 on Clancy Avenue near Bradford Street in the Belknap Lookout neighborhood. Police reported finding an adult male near the railroad tracks with multiple gunshot wounds.

The victim was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition but has improved and is expected to recover from his injuries.

“The victim survived in large part due to the quick actions of first responders in providing immediate aid,” GRPD Chief Eric Winstrom said in a statement. “I commend the Major Case Team for their work to identify this suspect and bring him to justice.”
