live tonight Larry sprawl Okafor Larry

I talked to the family members and they
believe that whoever did this knew his
brother they knew his routine his
everyday morning ritual so they knew and
he was not going to be at the house as
well hopefully someone will come forward
on this Thank You Larry after 60 days on
strike it is finally over as Caesars
Windsor workers accepted a deal that
will put them back to work but along two
months but they voted the day on the
third tentative agreement since the
strike began the casino has announced
they will reopen for business starting
at 11:00 a.m. Thursday of this week
that's June 7th so what happens next for
both the employees who've been off the
job for two months and shows set-off
this summer a live report on that and
more ahead on looking for news at six
well the rain cleared out just in time
for all of us to head back to work it's
just so darn beautiful but thanks for
changing a little bit this evening right
then they are Karen we've got rain
that's going to be rolling in overnight
and we will be seeing that unfortunately
just in time for that morning commute
tomorrow temperatures are in the low 70s
out there
very dry air very comfortable conditions
noticeable breezes those will be calming
down as we head through the evening
hours tonight 72 is what we're expecting
here before too long and then falling
through the 60s as we get to midnight
that's about the time we'll see those
clouds really start to increase and
we'll look for showers to develop I'll
tell you how long those will be around
and whether the 80s are coming back at
all this week all coming up in a few
minutes then a Detroit Police Sergeant
and a photographer filed a lawsuit
against singer Trey Songz the lawsuit
claims Songz assaulted both of them
right after this bizarre expletive
riddled rant during a concert of Joe
Lewis back in 2016 songs then went on to
trash equipment he was later arrested as
you may recall Steve Kerr's jail has
been working this story and Steve they
both claimed that they were injured as
well as verbally attack
while and they've waited 17 months with
happier Joe Louis Arena as you said in
December 2016 to see what the extent of
those injuries are so the incident not
new but that federal lawsuit filed today
the attorney is Mike Morris and it's the
beginning of a long legal process during
Tremayne never since 2016 concert at Joe
Louis Arena he got angry when his
microphone was shut off
he began trashing the stage and throwing
sound equipment last summer never sin
pled guilty to reduce charges of
disturbing the peace and he apologized
but two people were injured during never
since tirades attorney Mike Morris has
filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of
photographer Andrew Potter who was hit
with a microphone stand throw him by
never soms and hit him in the back of
the head hit him hard he went down had
to get medical treatment at the scene
and has injuries also represented in the
lawsuit is a former Detroit police
officer Robert Avery who alleges that
never s'en punched him in the face when
police tried to arrest him after the
concert the Sargent Avery 22-year
veteran of the force Detroit Police
Department went down went down hard
injured his hip has a brain injury
because of these injuries and will never
work again never sin was sentenced to 18
months probation and required to
complete anger-management classes
his attorneys had not yet responded to
this civil lawsuit for now the dollar
figure in damages is set at the federal
court minimum of $75,000 but that is
likely to change presumably we'll ask
for a lot more than $75,000 depending on
how the proofs come in and depending on
everything but with mr. Avery not being
able to be a sergeant again the damages
will be great yeah for a lot of people
the initial reaction is well why would
you sue for only $75,000 and that's
because that is the bare minimum to get
the case into federal court and that's
where they wanted to have this case so
Mike Morris would not pin a dollar
figure to it
but he said as you heard there it's
liable to be a lot higher than that well
Steve you already mentioned
the original facts in this case happened
so what's the timetable from here on out
well interestingly he told me this
afternoon Mike Morris that our
ninety-five percent of cases like this
are settled so really he would be
surprised if it goes to trial but if it
does it will be at least a year from now
long way down
all right okay we have a local four
update in Dexter Township tonight the
body of a missing kayaker has been
recovered from the Huron River 36 year
