KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety is looking for the public’s help to capture a murder suspect.
Back in January the Kalamazoo County Prosecutor’s Office authorized
charges of open murder and felony firearm against 21-year-old Dakwon Antwon Cornell Johnson, and he remains at-large.
Silent Observer is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to Johnson’s arrest.
Johnson is described as a Black male, 6’1″, approximately 155 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair. He is believed to have fled the Kalamazoo area following the homicide, and KDPS says should be considered armed and dangerous.
Information can also be provided anonymously through the Kalamazoo Silent Observer tip line at (269)343-2100, the P3Tips app, or online at www.kalamazoosilentobserver.com.
January 25 Kalamazoo Department Public Safety officers responded around 10:00 p.m. to a report of shots fired in the 100 block of Reed Avenue.
The first responding officer located 31- year-old Tyler James Patrick on the sidewalk with an apparent gunshot wound to the upper back. He was taken to a local hospital, where he died shortly after arrival.
The investigation led to the execution of search warrants at three locations in Kalamazoo. During the searches, officers seized three handguns, one rifle and additional evidence.
A 43-year-old man was arrested on weapons-related charges.
