PUBLIC ASSISTANCE NEEDED: The Michigan State Police Grand Rapids Post is seeking assistance from the public with an investigation into a fatality that occurred around 11:50pm on July 5, 2025. A Grandville-area 16-year-old white male with brown hair, wearing a white t-shirt, gray basketball shorts, and white Nike shoes, was found on eastbound I-196 near the 44th St. overpass. It appears that the teen had been struck by a vehicle. Tragically, when first responders arrived on scene, the teen had already passed away. Troopers from the Grand Rapids Post are seeking any witnesses, or involved parties, who can provide information as to how the teen came to be on the interstate and any vehicles involved. Those with information about this investigation please contact the Michigan State Police Grand Rapids Post at 616-866-4411.

Imagine being the guy who just set up 100,000 chairs on the National Mall and they announce they’re moving the inauguration indoors

Happy National Bagel Day to all who celebrate! (I celebrate every day)

I feel so unbelievably helpless when I think about the people and animals in California. My heart is breaking, I don’t even know what to do.

@LIZ95711138 He is sad, but so far doesn't want to cut his hair so that's a positive.

@brittflowerstv I am so sorry he had to deal with that. Is he doing ok?

Someone told my 11 year old brother to cut his long hair because he “looks like a trans.” And that is the America we live in.

Several people in W. MI have received abhorrent, racist, spam-like text messages that appear to be targeting POCs across the country. Anyone who receives a message like this is encouraged to report it to local authorities. We'll have more on this story tonight on @WOODTV.

@Jaden_Reports It takes so much more energy to be hateful than to be kind.

@brittflowerstv What bewilders me about our world — and maybe I just haven't been around long enough to get that worked up about trivial things — is that this person could have just given a compliment and made your brother's day. WHY do people CHOOSE to be that way; it sounds miserable 😔

@ashleygrahamtv Absolutely destroys me.

@brittflowerstv Awful. Just awful.

As I said

I just know a pizza place hates to see a newsroom coming on #ElectionNight

Guess I’ll just have fun with it

@Collin_WWMT exactly 😂😂

@brittflowerstv DND until Wednesday 😂😂

I’ve gotten 17 political texts so far between today and yesterday…. How do I make it stop 😭

@SaraFlynnWX Can we trade phones for the next 36 hours

@brittflowerstv Idk what list I’m on, but I still haven’t gotten a singular one 👀
