KDPS Investigates Non-Fatal Shooting on Forest Hills Lane

Published on March 05, 2026

Officers with the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety (KDPS) are investigating a non-fatal shooting that occurred Wednesday night on the city’s west side.

At approximately 10:47 p.m. on March 4, 2026, KDPS officers responded to the 4400 block of Forest Hills Lane after a third-party caller reported hearing an argument followed by gunshots and someone yelling that they had been shot.

Officers initially did not locate any victims at the scene. A short time later, a Michigan State Police trooper located a 24-year-old male victim at a nearby apartment complex. The man had sustained a graze wound to his left calf.

During the investigation, a second victim, a 16-year-old female who is the man’s sister, arrived at a local hospital with a graze wound to her right shin.

Preliminary information indicates the incident began as an argument near the 4400 block of Forest Hills. The situation escalated when a suspect fired multiple shots before fleeing through the parking lot.

At this time, investigators have limited information regarding the suspect or any associated vehicles. Detectives are actively pursuing leads.

Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to contact KDPS Criminal Investigations Division at 269-337-8139. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Kalamazoo Silent Observer at 269-343-2100, through the P3Tips app, or online at www.KalamazooSilentObserver.com.
