On October 29th, 2025, members of the Kalamazoo Valley Enforcement Team (KVET) Crime Reduction Team (CRT) were conducting a directed patrol near the intersection of Alamo Ave and Douglas Ave in the city of Kalamazoo to combat illegal weapons offenses. Two masked males were observed walking together eastbound on Alamo Ave, with one of the males showing clear indicators of being armed with a firearm.
Contact was made with the two males near the intersection of Cobb Ave and Nola St, at which time one of the males immediately fled on foot at the sight of Investigators. The 23-year-old male was apprehended after a brief foot pursuit and was found to be in possession of a firearm reported stolen out of Portage Michigan in early 2023. The Kalamazoo resident was arrested and lodged at the Kalamazoo County Jail for numerous illegal weapons violations, resisting and obstructing, and additional outstanding warrants.
If you have information about this case, please call KVET at 269-337-8880. You can also submit an anonymous tip through the Kalamazoo Silent Observer tip line at 269-343-2100, the “P3Tips” app, or online at www.KalamazooSilentObserver.com.
