Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety investigators are actively searching for a second suspect connected to the homicide of 49-year-old Latraysa Brown. Brown was fatally shot inside her home on Reed Street in Kalamazoo on the early morning of September 27. The investigation has revealed a complex web of violence, including the subsequent killing of 18-year-old Amaure’ Dora-Lee Lynniah Harris at Fox Ridge Apartments on September 28. Police have determined that Harris’s death was an act of retaliation for Brown’s murder. Authorities have already arrested two individuals in connection with these linked crimes: 18-year-old Cedric Gunn, who is charged with Brown’s homicide, and 20-year-old Markeet Primer Jr., who is charged with Harris’s death. Court records indicate that Primer allegedly sought revenge for his mother’s death by targeting Harris, who was the best friend of Gunn. Both arrested suspects have had their bond denied and are scheduled for upcoming court hearings. Despite these arrests, KDPS Captain Danielle Guild confirmed that investigators are still working to identify another individual who may be connected to Brown’s killing. The department has not disclosed the identity of this potential suspect or their specific role in the crime. A search warrant executed on East Cork Street resulted in the recovery of a firearm, though its direct connection to the killings has not been publicly detailed. KDPS emphasized that their focus remains on holding all involved parties accountable and stated that officers would take appropriate action if any specific threats to public safety were identified. The department declined to provide further details regarding the evidence linking the cases or potential ongoing threats, citing the need to protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation. KDPS is urging anyone with information regarding either homicide to contact the Criminal Investigations Division at 269-337-8139. Anonymous tips can also be submitted through the Kalamazoo Silent Observer at 269-343-2100.
