TROIT. EXACT TRACK 40 RADAR ACTIVE ALL AFTERNOON WITH SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS AND
TORNADO WARNINGS POPPING UP IN
THE PAST FEW HOURS. AND A NEW
WARNING HERE IN JUST THE LAST
COUPLE OF MINUTES.
>> RIGHT NOW, CHECK OUT THIS
PHOTO FROM MAYSVILLE IN TUSCOLA
COUNTY. THAT’S A LARGE WALL
CLOUD. AND THAT STORM MARCHED
EAST INTO LAPEER COUNTY, BACK
CLOSER TO HOME.
>> LIVE PICTURES FROM OUR MOUNT
CLEMENS SKYCAM. YOU SEE A STORM
THERE OFF INTO THE DISTANCE. THE
WARNING STARTED POPPING UP
AROUND THREE. AND IT’S BEEN
REALLY BUSY EVER SINCE.
>> SO LET’S GET RIGHT OVER TO
KIM ADAMS AND WHAT SHE’S SEEING
RIGHT NOW ON EXACT TRACK 40
RADAR. KIM
>> WELL, I WANT TO GET RIGHT TO
THAT NEW WARNING. IT IS FOR
MACOMB AND SAINT CLAIR COUNTIES
. WE’RE WATCHING A CELL MOVE
THROUGH PARTS OF NEW BALTIMORE
AND JUST ABOUT TO BE INTO MOUNT
CLEMENS, THE ONE THAT WAS IN ANN
ARBOR IS NOW MOVING INTO WAYNE
COUNTY, BUT IT HAS SINCE
WEAKENED. SO IT IS NO LONGER
SEVERE. SO I’M GOING TO STEP OUT
AND WE’RE GOING TO ZOOM IN A
LITTLE BIT FOR YOU ON THIS CELL.
IT IS MOVING TO THE EAST AT
ABOUT 45MPH AND CONTINUING
THROUGH PARTS OF MACOMB COUNTY
UNTIL HOWELL 6:00 TONIGHT. SO
WE’VE GOT QUITE A BIT OF TIME
UNTIL THIS COMES THROUGH FOR ALL
OF MACOMB COUNTY. SO WE’RE GOING
TO ZOOM IN A BIT FOR YOU HERE
AND TAKE A LOOK NOW AT MACOMB
COUNTY. IT IS A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WARNING. IT’S IN
THE CITY OF MACOMB MOVING OFF TO
THE EAST CHESTERFIELD, MOUNT
CLEMENS, HEADS UP FOR YOU. THIS
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WILL BE IN
YOUR BACKYARD WITHIN THE NEXT 2
TO 3 MINUTES. SO IT’S COOKING.
IT’S MOVING TO THE EAST VERY
QUICKLY AT 45MPH. SO IT’LL BE
OUT OVER THE WATER QUICKLY AS
WELL. BUT IT HAS WINDS AT 60MPH.
AND ALSO WE’RE GETTING REPORTS
OF LARGE HAIL, ABOUT AN INCH,
WHICH IS THE SIZE OF A QUARTER.
THAT’S ENOUGH TO DO DAMAGE TO
CARS. CERTAINLY PUTTING SOME
DENTS IN YOUR HOODS FROM NEW
HAVEN DOWN TO MOUNT CLEMENS. SO
THIS SEVERE THUNDERSTORM EXTENDS
ALL THE WAY TO SAINT CLAIR
COUNTY, AS WELL AS THIS IS
CONTINUING TO MOVE TO THE EAST
AT ABOUT 45MPH. NOW, I WANT TO
WIDEN THE VIEW BACK OUT FOR YOU
BECAUSE WE’VE BEEN WATCHING THIS
CELL RIGHT HERE FOR THAT. AT
FIRST LOOKED LIKE IT HAD SOME
SIGNS OF ROTATION, BUT THERE WAS
NO TORNADO WARNING ISSUED. JUST
A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM. AND THAT
IS NOW MOVING THROUGH CANTON,
HEADED OVER TO I 275. THIS HAS
BEEN A MULTI CELL EVENT. IT’S
NOT A LINE THAT WE’VE BEEN
TRACKING. THERE HAVE JUST BEEN
SHOWERS AND STORMS POPPING UP
HERE AND THERE. SO IT’S LIKELY
THAT WE COULD STILL CONTINUE TO
SEE A FEW MORE OF THESE
THUNDERSTORMS POP UP. SO EVEN IF
IT’S NOT RAINING OR STORMING AT
YOUR HOUSE NOW, WE’RE NOT
COMPLETELY OUT OF THE WOODS
UNTIL ABOUT 7 OR 8:00 TONIGHT.
BUT AGAIN, A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WARNING HAS JUST BEEN ISSUED FOR
MACOMB AND SAINT CLAIR COUNTIES
UNTIL 6:00 TONIGHT. I’LL TRACK
MORE OF THESE CELLS COMING UP IN
JUST A FEW MINUTES.
>> OKAY, KIM, WE’LL TALK TO YOU
THEN. THANK YOU. OUR OTHER TOP
STORY TONIGHT, A TERRIFYING NEW
TWIST TO A STORY WE FIRST
BROUGHT YOU LAST NIGHT. THE MAN
WANTED FOR AN ATTACK IN A TARGET
PARKING LOT IN TROY IS NOW
WANTED FOR A MURDER OVERNIGHT
NIGHT IN DETROIT. 31 YEAR OLD
ANDREW HALL WAS LAST SEEN IN THE
PARKING LOT OF TARGET ON
COOLIDGE IN TROY, WEARING
CLOTHES THAT MATCHED THE
DESCRIPTION OF A MAN WANTED FOR
MURDER OVERNIGHT. JUST OFF
WOODWARD, NEAR PALMER PARK.
>> TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THE TWO
PHOTOS ON YOUR LEFT. THAT’S THE
PICTURE FROM THE ATTACK IN TROY
. ON THE RIGHT, A SHOT OF THE
SUSPECT IN THE MURDER LAST NIGHT
IN DETROIT. LET’S GET TO PAMELA
OSBORNE. TELL US MORE ABOUT HIM.
PAMELA
>> WELL, DEVIN, KIMBERLY, THE
FACT THAT WE ARE SHARING THOSE
PICTURES OF HIM WITH YOU, HIS
NAME AS WELL IS AN INDICATION OF
HOW HARD POLICE ARE WORKING TO
FIND HIM. A WARRANT HAS NOT YET
BEEN ISSUED FOR HIS ARREST, BUT
POLICE, DETROIT POLICE IN
PARTICULAR, ARE SAYING THAT THE
COMMUNITY NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF
HALL, AS HE IS CONSIDERED TO BE
ARMED AND DANGEROUS. TAKE A
REALLY GOOD LOOK AT YOUR SCREEN.
DETROIT POLICE SAY THIS MAN IS
ANDREW JAMES HALL. HIS IMAGE
FIRST APPEARED MONDAY AFTER TROY
POLICE IDENTIFIED HIM AS A
PERSON OF INTEREST IN CONNECTION
TO AN ASSAULT THAT TOOK PLACE IN
A TROY TARGET PARKING LOT LAST
FRIDAY. HE’S NOW SUSPECTED OF
MURDER.
>> IF MR. HALL IS WATCHING, I
WOULD ENCOURAGE HIM TO MAKE
ARRANGEMENTS TO TURN HIMSELF IN
.
>> JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT, DETROIT
POLICE WERE CALLED TO THE 300
BLOCK OF WEST MCNICHOLS. THEY’RE
RELEASING FEW DETAILS, BUT SAY A
WOMAN IN HER 30S MET HALL IN THE
AREA. THERE WAS SOME KIND OF
ALTERCATION AND THEN SHE WAS
KILLED.
>> DETECTIVES RESPONDED TO THE
SCENE THIS MORNING WHEN SHE WAS
DISCOVERED THROUGH THEIR
INVESTIGATION. THEY CAME UPON
SOME VIDEO FOOTAGE THAT SHOWS
THE SUSPECT AT THE SCENE.
>> DPD GOT A TIP WITH HALL’S
NAME AND SAY OTHER EVIDENCE
IDENTIFYING HIM WAS FOUND
THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE
INVESTIGATION. AN SEE THE
PICTURE TO THE RIGHT.
INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE THAT’S
HALL RIDING AWAY FROM THIS
MORNING’S HOMICIDE. AND THE SAME
RED SHORTS AND WHITE SHIRT HE’S
SEEN WEARING IN THE TARGET
SURVEILLANCE VIDEO. WE DID SOME
DIGGING INTO HALL’S PAST AND
FOUND OUT HE SERVED TIME IN
PRISON FOR HOME INVASION AND
EVEN ATTEMPTED TO ESCAPE DPD
WORKING CLOSELY WITH TROY PD
HOPING TO LOCATE HALL. THERE’S A
$3,500 REWARD. THEY’RE ASKING
ANYONE WHO SEES HIM NOT TO
APPROACH HIM AND TO INSTEAD CALL
POLICE. REPORTING LIVE OUTSIDE
OF DPD HEADQUARTERS, I’M PAMELA
OSBORNE, LOCAL 4. WHAT A TURN.
>> ALL RIGHT, PAMELA. NOW NEW AT
FIVE, A JURY IN OAKLAND COUNTY
HAS RULED IN THE CASE OF ONE OF
THE MOST HIGH PROFILE ESTATE
CASES WE’VE SEEN IN YEARS.
>> THEY SAY BOTH OF ARETHA
FRANKLIN WILLS ARE VALID, WHICH
WOULD NORMALLY MEAN THE LATEST
HANDWRITTEN WILL IS WHAT STANDS.
BUT AS WE KNOW WITH THIS CASE,
THINGS DEFINITELY ARE NOT
STANDARD. SO LET’S GET TO MARA
MACDONALD. SHE’S LIVE TONIGHT TO
HELP US BREAK DOWN THE VERDICT.
MARA. HI KIMBERLY.
>> AT ISSUE IS A 2014 PIECE OF
PAPER WITH ARETHA FRANKLIN’S
SIGNATURE ON IT FOUND UNDERNEATH
A SOFA CUSHION AT HER BLOOMFIELD
TOWNSHIP HOME IS IT A WILL?
>> A JURY TONIGHT SAYS, YES, IT
IS. AND THIS WHOLE ISSUE HAS
PITTED BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER.
THE QUEEN OF SOUL DIED IN 2018
AND IT HAS BEEN LEGAL WRANGLING
OVER THE DIVISION OF HER ESTATE
EVER SINCE. THAT’S BECAUSE TWO
HANDWRITTEN WILLS WERE FOUND IN
HER HOME. ONE DATES FROM 2010
AND IS NOTARIZED. THE OTHER WAS
FOUND UNDER A SOFA. IT’S FROM
2014 AND IT BEARS HER SIGNATURE
. AN OAKLAND COUNTY JURY LATE
THIS AFTERNOON DETERMINED BOTH
WILLS ARE WILLS AS NORMALLY
YOU’D ASSUME. THE 2014 WILL
WOULD PREVAIL BECAUSE IT’S THE
LATER COPY.
>> WE ARE VERY HAPPY. LIKE YOU
SAID, IT’S BEEN A LONG FIVE
YEARS. WE DON’T FEEL LIKE IT
SHOULD HAVE TOOK THAT LONG, BUT
THAT WAS THE WAY GOD HAD IT.
FRANKLIN HAS FOUR SONS.
>> HER OLDEST SON, CLARENCE,
LIVES IN ASSISTED LIVING. HE HAS
SPECIAL NEEDS. THE REMAINING
THREE BROTHERS ARE SPLIT INTO
CAMPS. CAL AND EDWARDS SUPPORT
THE 2014 WILL. TED SUPPORTS THE
2010. WILL THE MAIN DIFFERENCE
IN THE TWO IS THE LATTER GIVES
FRANKLIN’S BLOOMFIELD HILLS,
HOME TO HER SON CAL OUTRIGHT,
AND THE REMAINING ROYALTIES ARE
TO BE SPLIT AMONG THE THREE
YOUNGER SONS AS A SETTLEMENT ON
HER ELDEST, CLARENCE IS ALREADY
IN PLACE.
>> WE’RE JUST HAPPY THAT WE GOT
THE VERDICT TO GO OUR WAY AND
THAT MY MOTHER’S WISHES, LAST
WISHES WERE ADHERED TO.
>> BACK HERE ALIVE. YOU KNOW,
ARETHA FRANKLIN DIED IN 2018.
AND AT THAT TIME, HER ESTATE WAS
VALUED AROUND $18. IT’S UNCLEAR
WHAT IT’S VALUED AT TODAY.
THERE’S A REASON THAT FINANCIAL
PLANNERS AND LAWYERS TELL YOU
NEVER TO PUT YOUR WILL THROUGH
PROBATE. THE WAY THIS HAS GONE,
NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT DRAINS YOUR
YOUR YOUR FINANCES AND WHAT YOU
ARE LEAVING YOUR SURVIVORS, BUT
IT ALSO HAS A HIGH PROBABILITY
OF LEAVING REALLY BAD FEELINGS
BETWEEN SURVIVORS. WE’RE LIVE
DOWNTOWN TONIGHT. I’M MARA
MACDONALD, LOCAL 4.
>> THAT’S TRUE. OKAY, MARA,
THANK YOU. A TOP FORD EXECUTIVE
ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH TWO
FELONIES FOR TRYING TO LIGHT
DESIGNER PURSES ON FIRE.
>> POLICE SAY FORD NEXT CEO
FRANK LOUIS VICTOR WAS INVOLVED
IN A DOMESTIC DISPUTE AT HIS
HOME ON SATURDAY. THE PURSES HE
TRIED TO BURN ARE WORTH AROUND
$10,000. HE’S FACING ARSON AND
ASSAULT CHARGES OUT OF OAKLAND
COUNTY AND BEING HELD ON A
$25,000 CASH SURETY BOND. MORE
ON THE CASE AND THE RESPONSE
FROM FORD COMING UP TONIGHT ON
LOCAL 4 NEWS AT SIX. STICK
AROUND FOR THAT. A TEENAGER IS
RECOVERING AFTER AN ARGUMENT ON
I 696 IN WARREN, WHICH LED TO A
TEEN JUMPING OUT OF A MOVING
CAR. IT ALL STARTED WHEN THE
GIRL JUMPED OUT OF A FORD FOCUS
. THE DRIVER OF A SEMI HAD TO
SWERVE TO AVOID THE GIRL, BUT
THEN HIT THE FORD FOCUS AND THE
MEDIAN. THE TEEN WHO JUMPED OUT
OF THE CAR IS IN CRITICAL
CONDITION. THE OTHER TEEN WHO
WAS STILL IN THE CAR SUFFERED
MINOR INJURIES.
>> NOW TO NEW INFORMATION IN THE
CASE AGAINST RASHAD TRICE. HE’S
THE MAN ACCUSED OF ASSAULTING
HIS EX GIRLFRIEND AND KILLING
HER TWO YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TODAY
IN FEDERAL COURT IN GRAND
RAPIDS, PROSECUTORS REVEALED NEW
TEXT MESSAGES TRICE SENT TO HIS
FAMILY AS POLICE SEARCHED FOR
WINTER. COLE SMITH. VICTOR
WILLIAMS IS FOLLOWING TODAY’S
HEARING. AND, VICTOR, THE JUDGE
IS ALLOWING THIS CASE TO MOVE
FORWARD.
>> OH, YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT. AND
THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEGINNING
OF THE LEGAL PROCESS FOR RASHAD
TRICE. WE KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE
ARE LOOKING VERY CLOSELY AT THIS
ONE. RASHAD TRICE HAD HIS VERY
FIRST APPEARANCE IN A FEDERAL
COURTROOM FOR HIS ALLEGED ROLE
IN THE DEATH OF HIS EX
GIRLFRIEND’S DAUGHTER, WINTER
COLE SMITH. THE PRELIMINARY
HEARING TAKING PLACE IN GRAND
RAPIDS WAS THE BACKDROP OF JUDGE
RAY KENT FINDING PROBABLE CAUSE
TO PROCEED WITH CHARGES. DURING
THE HEARING, INVESTIGATORS
REVEALED HOW THEY USED
TECHNOLOGY TO LOCATE TRICE WITH
CELL PHONE PINGING AND LICENSE
PLATE READERS DURING A STATEWIDE
SEARCH. TEXT MESSAGES FROM TRICE
PHONE WERE ALSO REVEALED.
SEVERAL OF WHICH BELIEVED TO BE
ADDRESSED TO FAMILY MEMBERS AS
SHOWING HIS MINDSET. ONE MESSAGE
READS I LOVE YOU ALL, BUT I HAVE
TO END THIS ANOTHER ONE SIMPLY
READS THE CHILLING WORDS SHE’S
GONE. WE KNOW THAT SADLY,
WINTERS BODY WILL BE FOUND THREE
DAYS AFTER SHE WENT MISSING IN
AN OVERGROWN ALLEY ON DETROIT’S
EAST SIDE TRICE ALSO WAIVED HIS
RIGHT TO A DETENTION HEARING. IF
TRICE IS CONVICTED, DEATH IS THE
RESULT OF KIDNAPING IS A CHARGE
THAT FACES A MANDATORY SENTENCE
OF LIFE IN PRISON. AND EVEN
THOUGH MICHIGAN DOES NOT HAVE
THE DEATH PENALTY IF CONVICTED,
TRISH COULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS
DEATH PENALTY UNDER FEDERAL LAW
. VICTOR WILLIAMS, LOCAL 4.
>> ALL RIGHT. WE APPRECIATE THAT
UPDATE. VICTOR
>> FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS
HE HAS PICKED UP THE ENDORSEMENT
FROM ALL OF THE REPUBLICAN
MEMBERS OF THE MICHIGAN US HOUSE
DELEGATION. TRUMP MADE THE
ANNOUNCEMENT IN A RELEASE TODAY
SAYING ALL SIX WILL BACK HIM IN
THE 2024 ELECTION. OF COURSE,
THE ENDORSEMENT COMES AMID THE
FORMER PRESIDENT’S MOUNTING
LEGAL STRUGGLES ON BOTH STATE
