WYOMING, Mich. (WZZM) -- A Wyoming restaurant offered a sneak peak at its new and improved location Monday evening.

The official opening for Lindo Mexico is scheduled for December 2. That's 15 years to the day when the original location opened at the corner of Clyde Park and 28th Street. It's moving down 28th Street to a spot near Taft.

"We're excited to be investing in this corridor of 28th Street, at a time when not everybody is really interested in doing that," spokesman Raul Alvarez. "We felt we're putting faith in our customers, we're putting faith in the city of Wyoming who has been working closely with us as we continue to grow. We're excited about making an investment in this area."

Another perk for the new location: Lindo Mexico now has the room for a bar.

WYOMING, Mich. (WZZM) -- The second of two brothers police say escaped to Mexico in 2007 to avoid murder charges appeared in court Thursday.

Eric Reyes Santiago, 31, was arraigned on a charge of attempted murder for a shooting at a gas station on Burton Street west of Clyde Park Avenue.

On Tuesday, his brother, 27-year-old Juan Enrique Reyes, was arraigned in a deadly shooting that same night a few blocks away.

Police say an innocent bystander, Ryan Pollok, died from a gunshot to the chest and that the brothers fled to Mexico shortly after the 2007 shootings.

They were brought back to Grand Rapids on Monday. Both will be back in court for probable cause hearings later this month.
