Kent City Teen Critically Injured after Altercation
TYRONE TOWNSHIP, Mich: Yesterday just before 2:00 PM, two groups of teens met up in the area of Fruit Ridge Ave & 20 Mile Rd. While one group of teens were standing outside and another seated inside a vehicle, an argument started over the sale of a vape pen. Initial information finds a 17-year-old Kent City teen was dragged alongside the vehicle as it left at a high rate of speed. The teen suffered a critical injury and was found by first responders in the roadway. He was rushed to an area hospital where he is in critical condition.
The vehicle fled the scene, but was later located by investigators. All involved are teens aged 15 to 17-years-old and are known to each other. As investigators continue to monitor the victim's status and finalize the report, the case will be submitted to the prosecutor’s office for review.
If you have information that could help to move the investigation forward, please call the KCSO at 616-632-6125, or call Silent Observer at 616-774-2345 to report information safely and anonymously.
