FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT. LOCAL 4 NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW. HE DESCRIBED HER AS A BEAUTIFUL
SOUL. AND WHEN WE FOUND OUT SHE
WAS MISSING WHEN SHE GOT OFF OF
WORK. WE WERE JUST WE WERE
PRAYING THAT SHE WOULD BE
SOMEWHERE AND WE WOULD FIND HER
FRIENDS COME TOGETHER TO
REMEMBER PATRICE WILSON, THE
WOMAN POLICE SAY WAS KIDNAPPED
AND MURDERED BY AN EX BOYFRIEND.
WE THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE WITH
US AT 11. I’M KIMBERLY GILL
DEVIN SCILLIAN. PATRICE WAS
ABDUCTED AS SHE LEFT HER SHIFT
AT DETROIT RECEIVING HOSPITAL
OVER THE WEEKEND. THE BODY OF
THE YOUNG MOTHER AND NURSE WAS
FOUND LATER IN A CAR IN NOVI
JACQUELINE FRANCIS TALKED WITH
HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY TONIGHT
AS THEY STILL NO DOUBT OR TRYING
TO PROCESS WHAT HAPPENED,
JACQUELINE. DE’VEON PATRICE’S
FRIENDS AND COWORKERS WERE
TALKING TONIGHT ABOUT JUST HOW
MUCH SHE MEANT TO HER PATIENTS
HERE AT DETROIT RECEIVING
HOSPITAL AS WE CONTINUE TO LEARN
MORE ABOUT THE NURSE WHO WAS
KIDNAPPED JUST MOMENTS AFTER HER
SHIFT SATURDAY MORNING. LOTS OF
HUGS AND TEARS SHED AT A VIGIL
THURSDAY, REMEMBERING THE LIFE
OF PATRICE WILSON. VERY
BEAUTIFUL SONG. THE VIGIL IN
REDFORD WAS HOSTED BY PATRICE A
SORORITY THAT SHE REMAINED
ACTIVE IN EVEN AFTER GRADUATION.
IT’S JUST SO UNIMAGINABLE. IT’S
JUST AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO
RECONCILE OUR THOUGHTS. 29 YEAR
OLD PATRICE WAS KIDNAPPED AS SHE
LEFT HER NURSING SHIFT AT
DETROIT RECEIVING HOSPITAL OVER
THE WEEKEND. HER BODY WAS FOUND
IN THE TRUNK OF A CAR AT A NOVI
APARTMENT COMPLEX THE NEXT DAY.
A MAN WAS ARRESTED IN HER
KILLING FAMILY TELLING US IT WAS
HER EX BOYFRIEND. AT THE VIGIL,
FRIENDS AND COWORKERS TALKED
ABOUT ALL THE LIVES SHE TOUCHED
. IT WAS REALLY HARD ON US,
ESPECIALLY BEING AT THE END OF
NURSES WEEK. PATRICE WAS MY
MOM’S SUPERVISOR AT DMC. SO MY
MOM WAS TELLING ME THAT SHE
BROUGHT IN CUPCAKES FOR THE
WHOLE NURSING STAFF. SO I
THOUGHT THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL.
AND THEN WHEN WE FOUND OUT SHE
WAS MISSING WHEN SHE GOT OFF OF
WORK. WE WERE JUST WE WERE
PRAYING THAT SHE WOULD BE
SOMEWHERE AND WE WOULD FIND HER,
BUT UNFORTUNATELY, WE GOT THE
NEWS THAT NIGHT THAT SHE WAS
GONE. PURPLE RIBBONS WERE HANDED
OUT AT THE EVENT SYMBOLIZING
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, AWARENESS AND
PREVENTION. AND WE’RE TRYING TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE REPRESENT HER
HER LEGACY AND JUST SHINE A LOT
OF LIGHT TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
BECAUSE IT IS A TRAGIC THAT THIS
HAS HAPPENED TO ONE OF OUR
BELOVED. THE PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE
HAS YET TO MAKE A CHARGING
DECISION ON THE MURDER AND
KIDNAPPING CASE. HOWEVER THE
SUSPECT, JAMIR MILLER, IS BEHIND
BARS AND A LIST OF UNRELATED
CHARGES. HIS BOND IS SET AT $1
MILLION REPORTING LIVE IN
DETROIT. JACQUELINE FRANCIS
LOCAL FORUM. ALL RIGHT,
JACQUELINE. A GAS STATION CLERK
IS CHARGED IN CONNECTION WITH
THE SHOOTING THAT LEFT A MAN
DEAD AND TWO OTHERS HURT.
PROSECUTORS SAY 22 YEAR OLD AL
HASSAN AYYASH LOCKED THE DOORS
OF THE MOBIL GAS STATION ON WEST
MCNICHOLS EARLIER THIS MONTH
AFTER SAMUEL MCRAE TRIED TO
LEAVE WITHOUT PAYING FOR $4
WORTH OF ITEMS. POLICE SAY MCRAE
THREATENED TO SHOOT THREE
INNOCENT MEN WHO ARE INSIDE THE
GAS STATION OF THE CLERK DIDN’T
UNLOCK THE DOOR. AND THEN HE DID
OPEN FIRE. ONE MAN DIED. TWO
OTHERS WERE HURT. TODAY.
PROSECUTORS CHARGED THE CLERK
WITH INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER,
SAYING HE WAS NEGLIGENT WHEN HE
INTENTIONALLY LOCKED THE DOOR
AND PREVENTED PEOPLE FROM
ESCAPING A DANGEROUS SITUATION.
THE SUSPECTED SHOOTER IS FACING
MURDER CHARGES. TWO MEN ARE
FOUND SHOT TO DEATH INSIDE A
HOME ON DETROIT’S EAST SIDE. WE
FIRST BROUGHT YOU THIS STORY IS
BREAKING NEWS AT FIVE. THEIR
BODIES WERE FOUND INSIDE A HOME
ON BLISS NEAR EIGHT MILE IN VAN
DYKE. INVESTIGATORS ARE
SEARCHING FOR THE SHOOTER AND
ARE LOOKING INTO THE
CIRCUMSTANCES. CLOWN SHOW THE
MOST INCOMPETENT DIVISION OF THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THAT’S HOW
MAYOR DUGGAN IS DESCRIBING THE U
. S CENSUS BUREAU TONIGHT. IT
COMES AS THE LATEST ESTIMATE
SHOWS DETROIT LOSING 8000 PEOPLE
BETWEEN 2021 AND 2022. DETROIT
DOWN IS THE 20/9 HIGHEST
POPULATION AMONG CITIES IN THE
COUNTRY DOWN FROM 20/7 LAST YEAR
. VICTOR WILLIAMS JOINS US WITH
WHAT’S AT STAKE HERE AND IT’S A
LOT VICTOR. OH YEAH, THAT’S
RIGHT, DEVIN. IT IS A LOT AND WE
KNOW THAT THE MAYOR HAS HAD
PLENTY OF BATTLES WITH THE U. S
CENSUS BUREAU IN THE PAST. BUT
AFTER THESE NUMBERS, HE’S SAYING
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. THE CENSUS
BUREAU IS THE MOST INCOMPETENT
DIVISION OF THE ENTIRE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT. MAYOR DUGGAN VERY
VOCAL IN PERSON AND ON SOCIAL
MEDIA ABOUT HIS DISPLEASURE WITH
THE U. S CENSUS BUREAU, SAYING
IT HAS NOW BECOME A COMPLETE
NATIONAL CLOWN SHOW ON TWITTER
25 HOUSING PROJECTS BEING BUILT
AROUND THE CITY BECAUSE PEOPLE
ARE MOVING IN SO QUICKLY. AND
THESE GUYS SAY WE LOST 8000
PEOPLE LAST YEAR AND 7000 THE
YEAR BEFORE IT MAKES NO SENSE
THE REALITY OF THE SENSES NOW
WITH THE GOVERNMENT AS IT
STANDS. YEP YOU KNOW WHO KNOWS
WHAT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING? IS
IT A CASE OF UNDERCOUNTING OR
UNDER PARTICIPATION? I JUST
THINK IT’S MORE SO ISSUE OF
REACHING PEOPLE BECAUSE THE
PEOPLE ARE HERE RIGHT AND HAVE
BEEN HERE FOR A MINUTE. I JUST
THINK IT’S AN ISSUE OF PEOPLE
SENDING IT TO THE MAIL. BUT
YOU’RE NOT GETTING THE MAIL AND
YOU NEED A CODE FROM THE MAIL TO
ACTUALLY DO IT ONLINE. SO IF YOU
DON’T HAVE INTERNET ACCESS WHERE
YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO DO, THIS MAN
FILLED OUT HIS CENSUS FORM, BUT
HE’S ONE OF THE ONLY ONES IN HIS
FAMILY TO DO SO. MY FAMILY
DIDN’T WANT TO DO IT BECAUSE,
LIKE, YOU KNOW WHY BOTHER LIKE
THEY DON’T SEE ANY BENEFIT FROM
IT. SO WHAT’S THE POINT? YOU
FILL OUT A SINGLE SHEET OF PAPER
AND IT’S IT. YOU KNOW, IT’S SO
EASY THAT IT’S JUST, YOU KNOW,
WHY NOT DO IT? AS A RESULT, THE
CITY COULD FACE LOSING FINANCIAL
FUNDS BASED ON THE NUMBER OF
PEOPLE COUNTED, BUT THE MAYOR
SAYS THAT’S NOT THE MAIN FOCUS.
FEDERAL THIS ISN’T THE MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS, BUT THAT’S NOT
REALLY THE POINT. I WANT OUR
FOLKS COUNTED. AND WE’RE GOING
TO FIGHT UNTIL EVERY DETROITER
IS GONE. AND WE KNOW THAT THE U.
S. CENSUS BUREAU IS SUPPOSED TO
BE HANDING OVER THE FORMULA THAT
THEY USED TO MAKE THESE
CALCULATIONS. SO THE CITY IS
PATIENTLY WAITING FOR THAT, SO
IT CAN DO ITS OWN MATH. VICTOR
WILLIAMS, LOCAL 400 FRUSTRATION
FOR THE MAYOR FOR A LONG TIME.
NOW, KEEP SITTING WORSE. SORRY,
VICTOR. THE PARENTS OF THE
OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTER ARE
ASKING THE MICHIGAN SUPREME
COURT TO HEAR THEIR CASE NOW
QUARTER FILING. JENNIFER AND
JAMES CRUMBLEY SAY THEY ARE NOT
AT FAULT FOR THE SHOOTING AND
ARGUE THEIR SON SHOULD BE BLAMED
. THE CRUMBLY PARENTS ARE FACING
INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER CHARGES
. THEY’VE BEEN FIGHTING THE
CHARGES. BUT IN MARCH, THE
MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS RULED
THEY CAN STAND TRIAL. WELL, NOW
THEY’RE TAKING IT TO THE STATE’S
HIGHEST COURT. NO WORD YET ON
WHEN JUSTICES MAY MAKE A
DECISION WARRANTS MAYOR JIM
FOWKES LASHING OUT OVER DECISION
THAT WILL KEEP HIM FROM RUNNING
FOR 1/5 TERM SUPREME COURT,
MAYBE BY NOT ACTING ON THIS OR
THE COURT OF APPEALS, FOR SURE
NOW HAS SAID TO ELECTED
OFFICIALS THROUGHOUT THE STATE
OF MICHIGAN. IT’S OKAY. YOU CAN
PUT SOMETHING SNEAKY. LINDA
MOORE DIDN’T YESTERDAY, THE
MICHIGAN SUPREME COURT ANNOUNCED
THEY WOULD NOT TAKE UP ITS
APPEAL AFTER THE MICHIGAN COURT
OF APPEALS RULED THAT HE DOES
NOT QUITE IF I FOR THE BALLOT
WAS BACK IN 2020 WARREN VOTERS
