Police have arrested two suspects in the April 25 shooting of Grand Rapids, Mich., comics retailer David Pirkola.
According to The Grand Rapids Press, James Muriel-Neal Thompson, 18, and Michael-Marquis Jones, 19, were arrested the following day and arraigned on April 28 on charges armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery and assault with intent to murder. However, police only now released the information.
Pirkola, owner of Apparitions Comics and Books, was shot during the evening robbery of his store. He remains in critical condition at Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital.
Police continue to look for a third suspect, 18-year-old Jevon Marquis Sawyer.
iFanboy is raising funds to help with Pirkola’s medical bills and the operation of his store.

This is a really sad story, I am glad that they have suspects in custody. I hope they catch the other.
iFanboy rocks for setting up the fund, I donated last week.
