Two people are dead after a shooting occurred at a jewelry store in downtown Grand Haven.
It happened around 3 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon at RK Jewelers on Washington Ave. between 2nd and 3rd Street.
Police tell Newschannel 3 they have identified the victims, 61-year-old Robert Karell, the owner of the jewelry store, and his business associate 77-year-old Louis Paparella, of Muskegon. Both died of gunshot wounds to the head.
Police say Karell had recently been buying large amounts of gold jewelry and coins, and are looking into whether that had anything to do with the shooting.
Because large amounts of jewelry were left behind after the shooting, police do not believe the suspect was attempting to rob the store.
State police will continue to help Grand Haven Police with the investigation.
