WE’RE LIVE AT DETROIT POLICE
HEADQUARTERS AYMARA MCDONALD,
LOCAL 4. THAT’S TERRIBLE. IN
OTHER NEWS, A MAN WANTED FOR
HITTING AND KILLING A DETROIT
FATHER IS ARRESTED AFTER A THREE
WEEK MANHUNT. HE WAS TAKEN INTO
CUSTODY FOLLOWING A POLICE CHASE
IN SOUTHFIELD. YOU’RE SEEING
PART OF IT THERE. THAT’S WHERE
OUR PAMELA OSBORNE IS LIVE
TONIGHT, AND SHE JOINS US WITH
HOW POLICE WERE ABLE TO TRACK
HIM DOWN, PAM. WELL, JASON WAS
ACTUALLY A TIP THAT CAME INTO
CRIME STOPPERS. THAT’S HOW
POLICE IDENTIFIED THE PERSON WHO
THEY SAY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
HITTING AND KILLING LAMAR WALLER
, NOW THE SUSPECT HIS NAME HAS
NOT YET BEEN RELEASED, BUT HE
TRIED TO GET AWAY AS YOU’LL SEE
IN THE VIDEO. HE HAD SOME HELP,
BUT HE COULDN’T OUTRUN OFFICERS
FROM TWO DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.
IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF THIS
BLACK LINCOLN MKX IS A HOMICIDE
SUSPECT WANTED FOR MURDER IN THE
CITY OF DETROIT. SOUTHFIELD
POLICE RECEIVING THAT
INFORMATION, TRIED TO STOP THE
CAR, BUT WATCH AS THE WOMAN
BEHIND THE WHEEL TAKES OFF WHEN
THEY GET TO A PARKING LOT.
OFFICERS USE A PIT MANEUVER,
BRINGING THE CAR TO A STOP.
WATCHES THE DRIVER DOOR OPENS
THE WANTED MAN INSIDE JUMPS OVER
THE DRIVER AND TAKES OFF ON FOOT
. SOUTHFIELD AND DETROIT POLICE
CHASE HIM DOWN INTO THE LOBBY OF
A NEARBY BUSINESS. THAT’S WHERE
THEY MADE THE ARREST TO THE
RELIEF OF BIANCA WALLER. I JUST
DON’T KNOW WHAT MY LIFE WOULD BE
LIKE WITHOUT HIM, BUT THIS IS A
START TO KILLING SOME AND
SOMETHING THAT’S JUST AN
UNIMAGINABLE WEEK. EXPERIENCE ON
JULY 12TH. HER HUSBAND, LAMAR,
GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT WITH THE
SUSPECT AT THE ACE OF SPADES
GENTLEMAN’S CLUB IN DETROIT. THE
SUSPECT RAN HIM DOWN IN A
VEHICLE AND TOOK OFF. LAMAR WAS
TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE HE
LATER DIED OF HIS INJURIES. AND
I JUST WANT LAMAR TO KNOW HE
KNOWS BECAUSE I’VE SAID IT TO
HIM A MILLION TIMES. I’M JUST SO
PROUD OF HIM. SO PROUD OF THE
PERSON HE BECAME SO PROUD OF HOW
HE WAS DOING HIS BUSINESS. THE
FATHER HE WAS THE HUSBAND. HE
WAS BIANCA, EXTENDING HER
GRATITUDE TO OFFICERS FOR THEIR
DETERMINATION AND FINDING THE
SUSPECT INTO THE PUBLIC FOR
THEIR SUPPORT AND INFORMATION
THAT LED TO HER HUSBAND’S KILLER
BEING TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. MY
DAUGHTER’S BIRTHDAY WAS JUST
YESTERDAY, SO YOU CAN ONLY
IMAGINE HOW HARD THAT WAS TO
HAVE A BIRTHDAY WITHOUT HIM
HERE. AND SHE TELLS US IT IS HER
UNDERSTANDING FROM TALKING TO
WITNESSES WHO WERE THERE THAT
DAY THAT HER HUSBAND TRIED TO
STAND IN DEFENSE OF A WOMAN
BEFORE THAT DISPUTE TURNED
DEADLY WARRANT REQUEST HAS BEEN
SENT OVER TO THE PROSECUTOR’S
OFFICE. I SHOULD MENTION THE
DRIVER OF THE GETAWAY CAR THAT
WAS IN THAT CHASE. SHE IS ALSO
FACING CHARGES AND IS EXPECTED
TO BE ARRAIGNED TOMORROW.
REPORTING LIVE IN SOUTHFIELD AND
PAMELA OSBORNE. LOCAL 4 A PIMP.
THANK YOU. A DEATH INVESTIGATION
IS UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW IN MACOMB
TOWNSHIP AFTER TWO PEOPLE ARE
FOUND DEAD INSIDE A HOME. THIS
IS VIEWER VIDEO HERE OF THE
SCENE IN DOWNING STREET NEAR 22
MILE IN HAZE. THAT’S WHERE
DEPUTIES FOUND THE BODIES AFTER
CONDUCTING A WELFARE CHECK AT
THIS TIME. THE MACOMB COUNTY
SHERIFF’S OFFICE IS ONLY SAYING
THE INVESTIGATION IS ONGOING.
AND THERE IS NO THREAT TO THE
COMMUNITY. ABORTION CONTINUES TO
BE LEGAL ACROSS MICHIGAN AFTER
AN OAKLAND COUNTY JUDGE RULES TO
KEEP AN ORDER IN PLACE,
PREVENTING COUNTY PROSECUTORS
FROM ENFORCING THE STATES 1931
ABORTION BAN. TODAY’S RULING
EXTENDS THE EMERGENCY ORDER
THROUGH AUGUST 17TH. THE ORDER
PROVIDES ONGOING ACCESS TO LEGAL
ABORTION IN MICHIGAN, WHILE THE
LEGAL FIGHT OVER THE RESTRAINING
ORDER PLAYS OUT, VOTERS IN
NOVEMBER WILL LIKELY GET AN
OPPORTUNITY TO DECIDE WHETHER TO
ADD ABORTION RIGHTS TO THE STATE
CONSTITUTION. THE STATE IS
EXPANDING TESTING AFTER A CANCER
CAUSING CHEMICAL WAS RELEASED
INTO THE CURE IN RIVER BY TRIBE
. OUR MANUFACTURING RIGHT NOW
EVERYONE IS BEING ASKED TO STAY
OUT OF THE RIVER FROM WIXOM ROAD
IN OAKLAND COUNTY TO KENSINGTON
ROAD IN LIVINGSTON COUNTY. IT’S
NOT YET KNOWN HOW MUCH
HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM GOT INTO THE
WATER, BUT THE STATE HEALTH
DEPARTMENT TOOK SAMPLES FROM
NINE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS TO FIND
OUT THOSE RESULTS EXPECTED
TOMORROW. IN THE MEANTIME, THERE
IS FRUSTRATION IS POPULAR
RECREATION SPOTS ALONG THE RIVER

HEARTBREAKING AND DEVASTATING
THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS.
WE’VE BEEN DEALING WITH FIFA’S
SINCE 2018 AND NOW WITH
HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM, BOTH FROM
THE SAME POLLUTER. IT REALLY
FEELS LIKE WE’RE JUST BEING
KICKED WHILE WE’RE DOWN.
MEANWHILE WE’VE JUST LEARNED
THERE’S BEEN A LARGE DIESEL
SPILL ON THE CANADIAN SIDE OF
THE ST CLAIR RIVER NEAR ST CLAIR
COUNTY. THE EMERGENCY MANAGER
SAYS THE WATER IS SAFE TO DRINK

INTAKES AT THE WATER TREATMENT
