The Grand Rapids Police Department has shared photos and videos from the riot downtown May 30-31 and is asking for the community’s help in identifying suspects, Fox 17 reports.

It's estimated that approximately $2.4 million in damage was done to downtown buildings and businesses the night of the riot.

In a post to Facebook, the GRPD say they have made numerous arrests for crimes that occurred during the civil unrest and "detectives and crime analysts continue to work aggressively to identify suspects from that night so they may be held accountable for their lawless actions."
