Miguel Zamudio visiting his parents when the shooting happened, his brother, Juan Zamudio, told News 8. Juan Zamudio said the family was outside enjoying the nice weather and some homemade tacos when they saw Lindsey, who was carrying a shotgun, approach from behind a neighbor’s house.
He said he and his brother hustled their family members into the house. Miguel Zamudio was the last inside, the brother said, and family members heard a shot as he walked in the door.
Miguel Zamudio died Sunday at Corewell Health Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids. He was 41 years old.
Juan Zamudio called his brother a lucky charm, even after death, because he was an organ donor.
