A suspect has been arrested in a shooting that occurred over the weekend at a Grand Rapids gas station.

The Grand Rapids Police Department says the male suspect turned himself in on Tuesday to police headquarters.

The man, whose name was not released, is charged with assault with intent to murder, carrying of a concealed weapon and possession of a weapon by a felon.

Officials say the suspect is also charged as being a third-time habitual offender.

The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon at a Marathon gas station on Franklin St. SW.

Reports indicate a man shot a 24-year-old victim in the chest in the parking lot following a verbal argument inside of the store.

The victim was taken to an area hospital. He was reportedly in serious but stable condition, according to a weekend GRPD news release.

Police say the suspect is lodged at the Kent County Correctional Facility pending an expected Wednesday morning arraignment.
