KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Monday, MLive reported that the suspect accused of murdering a 28-year-old Galesburg woman will stand trial.
Last December, police announced that charges would be brought against 24-year-old Chad Michael White of Kalamazoo in the case. The Sheriff’s Office had submitted charges of Open Murder and Felony Firearm against White in the death of Amber Walker.
Police had reported the discovery of a body at 35th Street and EF Avenue in Richland Township near Three Lakes. The body of Walker had been discovered in a nearby lake.
Police say Walker was shot in the face and run over multiple times before her body was hidden in the lake.
After developing White as a person of interest in the case, he was apprehended in Plainwell, at which time a gun matching the one used on Walker was found.
On Monday, MLive reported that Judge Richard Santoni said there was enough evidence to send White to trial. He will now face the charges in Kalamazoo County Circuit Court.
His next appearance was not immediately made available.
