GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- It was a record-setting soggy April in Grand Rapids along with colder and cloudier-than-usual conditions.

Temperatures during April averaged 44.6°F, 3.4°F below average and 3.7°F colder than last year (48.3°F).  Eighteen days were colder than usual, nine were warmer, and three were considered average.  The highest temperature occurred on April 30 with 78°F while the lowest temperature occurred on April 2 and 3 with 22°F.

Rainfall set a new record for April, measuring 11.10", 7.75" more than usual, and 8.12" more than last year (2.98").  There were eighteen days with measurable precipitation, five days more than average (13).

Snowfall totaled 0.7" for April, 0.6" less than usual but 4.9" more than last year (2.8").

Apparently Nick Schweitzer, a senior at West Catholic High School, has an agenda when it comes to being involved and helping where he is needed.

Nick went to St. Louis last summer to help out on a mission trip, something he thoroughly enjoyed. He is an Eagle Scout, volunteers at Kid’s Food Basket, belongs to the youth group at Holy Trinity Parish and is a Whitecap’s Mascot.

Along with all of the afore mentioned things he is involved with, Nick also belongs to Drama Club, performing in Shakespeare plays, Liturgical Choir, Writing Club, is Class Secretary and tutors. Now, that’s one busy guy!

Nick plans to attend Frederik Meijer Honors College at GVSU and study Secondary Math Education.

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- Two men are facing life in prison for the murder of a GVSU advisor in his home.

A jury Monday found Timothy Miller, 25, guilty of robbery and felony murder in the September 2012 death of Santiago Zapata. 

A separate jury reached the same verdict against Miller's co-defendant, Maceo Scott, 25, last week, but the verdict was sealed until the jury in Miller's trial reached its decision.

Zapata, 50, was found beaten and stabbed in the basement of his Myrtle St. NW home.  Prosecutors say Miller and Scott intended to rob Zapata, but their plan fell apart and led to the man's murder.

Because of the felony murder conviction, both men are facing a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole, according to a court official.

Scott and Miller will be sentenced on June 6.
