ABDUCTING THAT LITTLE GIRL HAS

STABBING ATTACK ON HER MOTHER.
RASHAD TRICE WAS ARRESTED LESS
THAN 12 HOURS AFTER WINTER.
SMITH WENT MISSING. THANKS FOR
JOINING US. I’M KAREN DREW, IN
FOR DEVIN SCILLIAN. I’M KIMBERLY
GILL.
>> AS OF RIGHT NOW, THERE’S
STILL NO SIGN OF THE LITTLE
GIRL. 26 YEAR OLD RASHAD TRICE
FACES CHARGES OF ASSAULT WITH
INTENT TO MURDER TWO COUNTS OF
CRIMINAL SEXUAL CONDUCT AND HOME
INVASION ALONG WITH A SLEW OF
OTHER CHARGES. VICTOR WILLIAMS
IS LIVE ON THIS STORY FOR US
TONIGHT. VICTOR HIS ARRAIGNMENT
TODAY DIDN’T HAPPEN IN A
COURTROOM. KIMBERLY KAREN?
>> NO, IT DID NOT. IT ALL TOOK
PLACE IN THE HOSPITAL, THE SAME
PLACE WHERE THIS MAN IS
RECOVERING AFTER CRASHING WHILE
ALLEGEDLY RUNNING FROM POLICE.
RASHAD MALIK TRICE OUT OF
DETROIT IS NOW OFFICIALLY BEEN
HIT WITH MULTIPLE CHARGES IN
CONNECTION TO THE KIDNAPING OF
HIS EX GIRLFRIEND’S TWO YEAR OLD
DAUGHTER, WINTER. COLE SMITH.
THE 26 YEAR OLD IS NOW BEING
CHARGED WITH UNLAWFUL
IMPRISONMENT. IT’S ALLEGED THAT
A FIGHT BETWEEN TRICE AND
WINTER’S MOTHER LED TO HIM
SEXUALLY ASSAULTING AND THEN
STABBING THE 22 YEAR OLD WOMAN
AROUND 15 TIMES AFTER IT SAID
THAT HE TOOK WINTER IN HER
MOTHER’S CAR BEFORE MAKING HIS
WAY TOWARDS METRO DETROIT
BECAUSE OF THAT, TRICE IS ALSO
BEING CHARGED WITH ASSAULT WITH
INTENT TO MURDER. FIRST DEGREE
HOME INVASION AGGRAVATE A
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, UNLAWFUL
DRIVING AWAY OF AN AUTOMOBILE
FELONY ASSAULT AND TWO COUNTS OF
FIRST DEGREE CRIMINAL SEXUAL
ASSAULT. IT’S ACTUALLY HIS
SECOND OFFENSE FOR AGGRAVATED
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. HOWEVER HE’S
BEING CHARGED AS A VIOLENT,
HABITUAL FOURTH OFFENDER OVERALL
, DESPITE HIS CRIMINAL HISTORY,
HIS MOTHER, SHAWN TRICE,
BELIEVES HER SON IS TOTALLY
INNOCENT.
>> I SEE MY SON DON’T HAVE
NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT BABY.
>> EVEN WITH THAT, SHAWN, LIKE
SO MANY OTHERS, ARE HOPING FOR
WINTER’S SAFE RETURN. I’M HOPING
FOR THE BEST AS AN INNOCENT BABY
AND IF HER AND RASHAD GETTING
INTO SHE SHOULDN’T PUT THE BABY
IN IT. NOW, TRICE IS BEING HELD
WITHOUT BOND. WE KNOW THAT HE IS
DUE BACK IN COURT ON JULY THE
13TH. BUT THOSE CHARGES CAN
POTENTIALLY CHANGE DEPENDING ON
WHAT IS GOING TO COME OUT OF
THIS INVESTIGATION. BUT COMING
UP AT 6 P.M, WE ARE TALKING TO
WINTER’S FATHER, WHICH, AS YOU
GUYS CAN IMAGINE, IS VERY TORN
BY ALL OF THIS TAKING PLACE IN
LANSING TONIGHT. VICTOR
WILLIAMS, LOCAL 4.
>> IT HAS TO BE SO AGONIZING FOR
THAT LITTLE GIRL’S PARENTS.
VICTOR, BEFORE YOU GO, WHAT DO
YOU KNOW ABOUT THE SEARCH
EFFORTS AROUND LANSING?
>> WELL, RIGHT HERE IN TOWN
SQUARE, THE SAME APARTMENT
COMPLEX WHERE ALL OF THIS
INITIALLY TOOK PLACE BEFORE
WINTER WAS TAKEN OUT OF HER
HOME. WE HAVE SEEN OFFICERS JUST
GOING AROUND TRYING THEIR BEST
TO LOOK OVER EVERY SINGLE INCH
OF LAND TO SEE IF POTENTIALLY
ANY CLUES ARE HERE TO LEAD TO
WINTER’S WHEREABOUTS.
>> WELL, LET’S HOPE SHE IS FOUND
OKAY.
>> VICTOR, THANK YOU. OUR OTHER
TOP STORY TONIGHT, THE FAMILY OF
A MAN SHOT AND KILLED AT A
DETROIT GAS STATION IS SUING
EXXONMOBIL FOR $100 MILLION.
THIS COMES FOLLOWING A SHOOTING
IN SOUTHWEST DETROIT WHERE A
CLERK ALLEGEDLY SHOT AND KILLED
A CUSTOMER OVER AN ARGUMENT
ABOUT BEEF JERKY.
>> MEGAN WOODS LIVE ON THIS
STORY FOR US TONIGHT. MEGAN,
THAT CLERK HAS ALREADY BEEN
CHARGED RIGHT?
>> THAT’S RIGHT. FOR A FIRST
DEGREE MURDER, FELONY FIREARM.
AND HIS BOND WAS DENIED. AND
TODAY MARKS THE SECOND LAWSUIT
THAT FEIGER LAW HAS AGAINST
EXXONMOBIL MOBIL. SO THOSE
ATTORNEYS, AS WELL AS ANTHONY
MCNAIRY’S FAMILY, CLOSE TO TWO
DOZEN OF THEM CAME HERE TO HAVE
A PRESS CONFERENCE. AND MAKE
THEIR DEMANDS. NOW, WE REACHED
OUT TO EXXON MOBIL AND THEY
HAVEN’T GOTTEN BACK TO US.
>> IMAGINE YOUR CHILD BEING
RIPPED AWAY FROM YOU FOR
SOMETHING AS SIMPLE HOWELL AS A
PIECE OF PACKAGED MEAT.
>> WHILE ANTHONY MCNAIRY HAS
BEEN BURIED HIS FAMILY IS STILL
TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF HIS
MURDER.
>> ALL YOU HAVE ARE THE FACTS,
WHICH ARE ANTHONY WAS MURDERED.
ANTHONY WAS UNARMED. AND. AND
THIS GUY WHO WORKS FOR THIS
COMPANY JUST FELT LIKE HE HAD
THE RIGHT TO TAKE THAT LIFE
AWAY. AND NO ONE DOES ANYTHING
ABOUT IT UNTIL NOW.
>> IN 30 DAYS, THERE HAVE BEEN
TWO DIFFERENT EXXON’S WITH
KILLINGS AND SHOOTINGS. COME ON,
LET’S CALL THIS WHAT IT IS, IS
FEIGER LAW FILED A $100 MILLION
LAWSUIT AGAINST EXXON MOBIL.
>> JAMES HARRINGTON, MANAGER,
PARTNER OF THE LAW FIRM, SAYS
THE CORPORATION IS DENYING ANY
ACCOUNTABILITY WITHIN I THINK A
DAY OR TWO OF US FILING THE
LAWSUIT, EXXON SENDS A LETTER TO
US SAYING WE HAVE NO
RESPONSIBILITY. BUT HARRINGTON
SAYS THAT’S NOT TRUE AND THAT
THE GAS STATION HAD TO PAY A
FRANCHISE AGREEMENT.
>> AND EXXON CAN COME IN AT ANY
TIME AND TELL THEM WHAT TO DO
AND TO TELL THEM WHAT TO SAY AND
HOW TO SELL AND WHAT TO SELL.
>> SO THE FAMILY IS ASKING FOR
NOT JUST JUSTICE, BUT CHANGE IN
COMPANY POLICIES IS DO NOT LET
MY BROTHER BE FORGOTTEN FROM
YOUR MINDS.
>> BECAUSE EVEN IN HIS LITTLE
AMOUNT OF TIME, HE LIVED A VERY
LONG LIFE AGAIN, WE DID REACH
OUT TO EXXONMOBIL AND HAVE NOT
HEARD BACK.
>> NOW, AS FOR FEIGER LAW, THEY
SAY THEY INVITE EXXONMOBIL TO
TALK TO THEM ABOUT POLICY
CHANGES BECAUSE THEY DON’T WANT
THIS TO KEEP HAPPENING IN THE
CITY OF DETROIT OR ANYWHERE IN
OUR AREA. REPORTING LIVE IN
SOUTHFIELD, I’M MEGAN WOODS,
LOCAL 4. ALL RIGHT.
>> WE APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU,
MEGAN. NOW TO A MAJOR UPDATE TO
A STORY THAT WE’VE BEEN
FOLLOWING DOWN IN MONROE COUNTY.
>> THE MONROE COUNTY, TOLEDO KOA
HOLIDAY CAMPGROUND IS DRAINING
ITS SWIMMING LAKE AFTER MULTIPLE
DROWNINGS AND ONE NEAR DROWNING
IN THE PAST FEW YEARS. LET’S GET
TO JACQUELINE FRANCIS LIVE
TONIGHT. JACQUELINE, THE
FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS HAVE
BEEN FIGHTING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN
.
>> YEAH, WHEN ONE OF THE
FAMILIES REACHED OUT TO US TODAY
TO LET US KNOW ABOUT THE
CLOSURE, THE SUBJECT LINE WAS WE
DID IT. SO THAT GIVES YOU AN
IDEA OF JUST WHAT A VICTORY THIS
IS FOR THEM AS THEIR TEENAGE SON
HAS BEEN IN A VEGETATIVE STATE
SINCE A NEAR DROWNING INCIDENT.
TWO YEARS AGO, AND THERE HAVE
BEEN TWO MORE DEADLY DROWNINGS
SINCE THEN. SWIMMING IS NO
LONGER AN OPTION. AT THE MONROE
COUNTY TOLEDO KOA HOLIDAY
CAMPGROUND AND THE DECISION TO
DRAIN AND PERMANENTLY CLOSE THE
SWIMMING LAKE ON THE PROPERTY
COMES EXACTLY ONE WEEK AFTER AN
18 YEAR OLD DROWNED IN THE POND
. IT WAS THE THIRD DROWNING
INCIDENT IN THREE YEARS FOR MY
CLIENTS, IT CERTAINLY FEELS LIKE
A VICTORY.
>> TODAY IS A HAPPY DAY FOR THEM
. IT’S SOMETHING THAT THEY’VE
WANTED TO SEE THIS POND SHUT
DOWN SO THAT THESE TRAGEDIES
STOP HAPPENING.
>> ATTORNEY STEVEN LOVELL
REPRESENTS THE FAMILY OF THE
FIRST TWO VICTIMS, 15 YEAR OLD
JALEN HILL, WHO DROWNED IN JULY
OF LAST YEAR, AND ANDY SNOOK,
WHO HAD A NEAR DROWNING INCIDENT
IN 2021. AND HAS BEEN IN A
VEGETATIVE STATE EVER SINCE. THE
FAMILIES HAVE WANTED AND WAITED
FOR THE DAY THE POND WOULD BE NO
MORE.
>> IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE UP
FOR THE TRAGEDIES THAT MY
CLIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES HAVE
GONE THROUGH. IT IS A GOOD FIRST
STEP, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT’S NOT
ENOUGH.
>> THE FAMILIES WILL MOVE
FORWARD WITH THEIR LAWSUITS
FILED. IN THE MEANTIME, I ASKED
LOVELL WHAT MADE THE POND SO
DANGEROUS.
>> IT’S A SOFT BOTTOM, ALMOST NO
VISIBILITY. SO IF YOU GO UNDER
THE WATER, IT’S REALLY HARD FOR
SOMEONE TO FIND YOU OR TO SEE
YOU OR TO GIVE YOU HELP AGAIN.
>> SO IT WAS JUST TODAY THAT THE
CAMPGROUND ANNOUNCED THAT THEY
WERE GOING TO BE DRAINING AND
CLOSING THE POND FOR GOOD. THEY
DIDN’T SAY WHY, THOUGH. IT DOES
COME ONE WEEK AFTER THAT DEADLY
DROWNING. BUT SO YOU COULD
ASSUME MAYBE THAT’S WHY. AND THE
ATTORNEYS SUSPECT THAT’S WHY.
BUT WE DON’T HAVE ANY
CONFIRMATION. I REACHED OUT TO
THE CAMPGROUND MULTIPLE TIMES,
BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK
REPORTING LIVE, JACQUELINE
FRANCIS, LOCAL 4.
>> OKAY, JACQUELINE, THANK YOU.
>> THE WAR IN UKRAINE MAY SOON
HAVE SOME POTENTIALLY
RADIOACTIVE CONSEQUENCES.
UKRAINIAN OFFICIALS SAY THAT A
RUSSIAN CAPTURED NUCLEAR POWER
PLANT IS RIGGED TO EXPLODE.
PRESIDENT VLADIMIR ZELENSKYY
CLAIMS RUSSIA HAS PLACED OBJECTS
RESEMBLING EXPLOSIVE LEAVES ON
THE PLANT, WITH PLANS TO BLOW IT
IF UKRAINE FORCES AN ATTACK. THE
PLANT IN SOUTHEASTERN UKRAINE
WAS CAPTURED BY RUSSIA BACK IN
MARCH OF 2022. UKRAINE SAYS
RIGHT NOW RADIATION LEVELS ARE
NORMAL. BUT SAY IF SOMETHING
WERE TO HAPPEN, IT WOULD HAVE A
WORLDWIDE IMPACT. RUSSIAN
OFFICIALS SAY THERE ARE NO
EXPLOSIVES AT THE PLANT AND
EVERYTHING IS RUNNING NORMALLY.
WELL, TODAY MAY BE A SCORCHER
HERE IN METRO DETROIT, BUT
YESTERDAY ACTUALLY MARKED THE
UNOFFICIAL, HOTTEST DAY ON
RECORD FOR THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
RECORD FOR THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD . >> YEAH, HOW ABOUT THIS?
ACCORDING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF
MAINE’S CLIMATE ANALYZER, THE
PLANET’S AVERAGE DAILY
TEMPERATURE EVER CLIMBED TO
62.6°F. THAT’S THE HIGHEST IN 44
YEARS. SCIENTISTS WARN THE
RECORD IS LIKELY TO BE THE FIRST
OF MANY. THIS SUMMER. A
COMBINATION OF CLIMATE CHANGE
AND HIGHER SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES ARE PUSHING UP
TEMPERATURES AS OKAY. WELL,
LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT EXACT TRACK
40 RADAR RIGHT NOW. THERE WERE A
FEW LITTLE RAIN SPOTS MOVING
THROUGH JUST A FEW.
>> YEAH, ISOLATED. NOW TAKE A
LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE FROM OUR
SOUTHFIELD SKYCAM. THERE IS AN
AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT YET
AGAIN AS TEMPERATURES BREAK THAT
90 DEGREE MARK. IT WAS
SWELTERING FOR THE FOURTH. AND
THAT PATTERN SEEMS TO BE
STICKING AROUND.
>> SO LET’S GET OVER TO BRYAN
SCHUERMAN. HE’S IN FOR KIM ADAMS
TONIGHT. JUST A REALLY HOT,
MUGGY DAY OUT THERE, BRIAN. OH,
YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT.
>> KIMBERLY AND KAREN, VERY WARM
, VERY HUMID TODAY. WHAT WE’D
EXPECT GOING THROUGH THE EARLY
PORTIONS OF JULY FOR MOST OF
SOUTHERN MICHIGAN CLOSING IN ON
THAT 90 DEGREE MARK THIS
AFTERNOON. WE FINALLY HIT 90
DEGREES HERE IN DETROIT AS A
5:00 91. RIGHT NOW IN TROY, 90
IN FLINT, 89, IN HOWELL, ALSO
90S, OVER TOWARD KALAMAZOO,
CHECKING IN AT 90 DEGREES, 90 IN
LANSING AND 92 OVER IN MOUNT
PLEASANT. WE DO GET A BREAK FROM
THAT HEAT, BUT IT COMES IN THE
FORM OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM
FORMS AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW.
SO EXACT TRACK 40 DRY FOR MOST
OF SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN, BUT
WE’RE WATCHING A FEW THUNDER
SHOWERS WELL WEST OF THE METRO.
THOSE CROSSING INTO WESTERN
PORTIONS OF LENAWEE COUNTY RIGHT
AROUND HUDSON, THEN WORKING ON
UP TOWARDS STOCKBRIDGE AND
NAPOLEON. WE’LL HOLD ON TO THAT
ISOLATED THUNDER SHOWER CHANCE
FOR OUR WESTERN COMMUNITIES, AT
LEAST THROUGH THIS EVENING. BUT
WE’RE WATCHING THE RADAR. A
BETTER COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
THAN WE HAD YESTERDAY. AND I’M
EXPECTING THAT COVERAGE TO
INCREASE TOMORROW WITH STORMS ON
THE WAY. SO FOR THIS EVENING, 80
BY 8:00, DROPPING INTO THE 70S
OVERNIGHT, IT’S GOING TO BE A
MUGGY NIGHT BEFORE THOSE STORMS
ARRIVE TOMORROW. SO I’LL TIME
OUT WHEN THAT UMBRELLA IS GOING
TO BE COMING HANDY. THE DETAILS
IN YOUR FULL WARRANT FORECAST
COMING UP IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.
>> ALL RIGHT, THANKS SO MUCH.
SPRAY SUNSCREEN, INCREDIBLY
POPULAR, ESPECIALLY FOR KIDS,
BUT DERMATOLOGISTS WARN YOU MAY
NOT BE AS PROTECTED AS YOU THINK
.
>> OUR DR. FRANK MCGEORGE HAS
THE MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE THAT
REDUCE THE PRODUCTION ON AND
WHICH DAYS YOU NEED TO OPT FOR A
DIFFERENT CHOICE.
>> AND A HAZMAT INVESTIGATION AT
THE WHITE HOUSE TAKES A REALLY
BIZARRE TWIST THAT ROD OUT HERE
ON OUR HIGHWAYS, IT’S A REGULAR
BARREL, ALI.
>> DON’T DO ALL THE HIGHWAYS AT
ONE TIME.
>> IT IS JUST HORRENDOUS.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT HERE ARE
REALLY FRUSTRATED AND WANT TO
