6-6 NOW. THE FAMILY OF A TEENAGER KILLED IN EAST POINT ROAD RAGE INCIDENT WANTS TO KNOW
WHY THE OTHER DRIVER IS NOT
FACING CHARGES OFF THE TOP
TONIGHT AT SIX, A LOVED ONE’S OF
THAI HAIL SPEAKING OUT, AND WE
ALSO HEAR FROM THE PROSECUTOR
WAS ON HIS MINI BIKE WHEN HE
APPROACHED THE PASSENGER SIDE OF
A PICKUP TRUCK AND THE MAN
INSIDE SHOT HIM LATER CLAIMING
SELF DEFENSE. SHAWN LEY HAD A
CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH HAILS
FAMILY TODAY. AND SEAN. IT
SOUNDS LIKE PART OF THE REASON
THEY’RE SO UPSET IS THAT HALE
WAS NOT ARMED WHEN ALL OF THIS
HAPPENED. CLEARLY NOT ARMED.
ACCORDING TO THE FAMILY. I JUST
MET WITH HIM AND LOOK. OF COURSE
THEY’RE HURTING, BUT I ASKED
THEM AFTER THIS INCIDENT. HOW
MANY TIMES THEY HEARD FROM EAST
POINT POLICE? THEY SAID, NOT
ONCE I ASKED HIM HOW MANY TIMES
THEY’VE HEARD FROM MACOMB COUNTY
PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE WHO CHOSE
NOT TO ISSUE CHARGES THEY HAVE
NOT HEARD FROM THE PROSECUTOR’S
OFFICE, EITHER. SO YES, THEY’RE
HURTING, BUT THEY’VE GOT SERIOUS
QUESTIONS. HE HAD NO CHANCE TO
DO OR SAY ANYTHING. HE PULLED UP
. BAM HE WAS GONE ABSOLUTE
OUTPOURING OF LOVE FOR AN 18
YEAR OLD NAMED TY. HAIL WITH A
FAMILY DEMANDING EAST POINT.
POLICE AND THE MACOMB COUNTY
PROSECUTOR TO TALK TO THEM. THE
TEAM WAS SHOT AND KILLED
SEPTEMBER 30TH A DOORBELL CAMERA
SHOWS THE DRIVER OF A RAM TRUCK
PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN IN
EAST POINT. HEY ALWAYS ON A MINI
BIKE, HE PULLS UP TO THE
PASSENGER SIDE AND HALE WAS SHOT
DEAD. THE DRIVER WAS NOT CHARGED
. THE QUESTION OF WHAT ABOUT
THIS WAS JUSTIFIABLE HAS GONE
UNANSWERED BY POLICE AND THE
PROSECUTOR. HE WAS AWAY FROM THE
THREAT MY SON APPROACHED, HE
WAITED FOR THE THREAT TO
APPROACH HIM. HOW IS IT? SELF
DEFENSE IS NOT JUSTIFIABLE TO
ME. IT CAN IT’S WHAT WORDS YOU
CAN’T SHOOT SOMEBODY. JUST
BECAUSE OF WORDS. THE INCIDENT,
APPARENTLY STEMMING FROM AN
ARGUMENT. ROAD RAGE. THE DRIVER
WAS ARMED. THE TEAM WAS NOT
WORDS DO NOT JUSTIFY MURDER.
WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS INSTANCE
THE FAMILY IS DEMANDING TO KNOW
HE LITERALLY WAS ON THE SIDE,
AND HE WAS TO GO ON. WITHIN TWO
SECONDS WE COUNTED, I WATCHED
THAT VIDEO OVER AND OVER AND
OVER AND OVER NOVI. THAT’S WHY
HALE’S MOTHER CLEARLY IN AGONY
THERE NOW WE’VE MADE NUMEROUS
ATTEMPTS WITH THE MACOMB COUNTY
PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE TO ASK THE
QUESTION. WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE
CASE? WHY CHARGES WERE NOT FILED
? WE FINALLY GOT THIS RESPONSE
QUOTE, THE MAJOR CRIME UNIT IN
THE MACOMB COUNTY PROSECUTOR’S
OFFICE MADE A FULL AND COMPLETE
REVIEW PRESENTED BY THE EAST
POINT POLICE DEPARTMENT AND
DETERMINED THAT A WARRANT NOT BE
ISSUED IF FURTHER INFORMATION OR
EVIDENCE IS PRESENTED TO THE
EAST POINT POLICE DEPARTMENT. WE
WILL ALWAYS CONSIDER THIS
INFORMATION OR EVIDENCE FOR
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION. THAT
AREA IS SURROUNDED BY CAMERAS.
THE FAMILY WANTS TO KNOW IF
ANYTHING ELSE WAS CAUGHT BY
THOSE CAMERAS, AND THEY HAVE
GOTTEN AN ATTORNEY BACK TO YOU.
SO MANY QUESTIONS TO BE
ANSWERED. SHAWN LEY HAS A FAMILY
HELD SERVICES FOR THAI YET YOU
KNOW, I ASKED THAT THIS HAPPENED
SEPTEMBER 30TH AND THEY SAY HIS
BODY HAS NOT YET BEEN RELEASED
BY THE EXAMINERS OFFICE. SO THEY
FEEL LIKE THEY ARE IN LIMBO HERE
, AND THEY CERTAINLY ARE HURTING
AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO
SOMEONE WITH THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT AND PROSECUTOR’S
OFFICE. YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY.
OKAY, SEAN, THANKS. AFTER MONTHS
OF DEBATE, THE DETROIT CITY
COUNCIL VOTES TO EXPAND A
CONTROVERSIAL GUNSHOT DETECTION
SYSTEM COUNCIL APPROVED FUNDING
FOR SHOT SPOTTER ON A VOTE OF 5
TO 4, SO IT WAS CLOSE CURRENTLY
BEING USED IN THE 8TH AND 9TH
PRECINCT. THIS VOTE WOULD BRING
IT TO OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS. SOME
NEIGHBORS EXPRESSED CONCERNS
ABOUT PRIVACY WITH THE AUDIO
SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY. BUT
POLICE CHIEF JAMES WHITE SAYS
SHOOTINGS HAVE BEEN CUT IN HALF
IN THE AREAS WHERE IT’S BEING
USED. $7 MILLION CONTRACT WILL
BE PAID WITH MONEY FROM THE
GENERAL FUND. DECISION, 2022,
THE SECRETARY OF STATE’S OFFICE
, SAYS VOTER TURNOUT IN NOVEMBER
MAYBE THE HIGHEST EVER IN A
GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION IN THE
STATE OF MICHIGAN. THE SECRETARY
OF STATE’S OFFICE MADE THAT
PREDICTION BECAUSE OF ABSENTEE
BALLOTS MORE THAN 150,000.
PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY CAST THEIR
ABSENTEE BALLOT AND A TOTAL OF
1.6 MILLION HAVE REQUESTED ONE
SO FAR. THE STATE THINKS MORE
THAN TWO MILLION ABSENTEE
BALLOTS MAY BE SUBMITTED BY THE
NOVEMBER 8TH ELECTION. IN
ADDITION TO THE RACE FOR
GOVERNOR, VOTERS WILL HAVE A SAY
IN VOTING RIGHTS AND ABORTION
RIGHTS AND ISSUE THAT IS
EXPECTED TO DRIVE VOTER TURNOUT
. AND WITH THE ELECTION FEWER
THAN A MONTH AWAY, WE HAVE
LAUNCHED OUR DIGITAL VOTER GUIDE
WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

CLICKONDETROIT.COM. A VERY
UNUSUAL YET HEARTWARMING STORY
ABOUT A BELOVED PROFESSOR IN
SEARCH OF AN ORGAN DONOR, DR.
SCOTT SCHNEIDER’S CAMPAIGN FOR A
NEW KIDNEY HAS HIM USING
MULTIPLE BILLBOARDS TO TRY TO
FIND A MATCH, VICTOR WILLIAMS
SAYS, LOOK AT THE UNIQUE
MEASURES NOW BEING TAKEN YOU’RE
GOING TO SEE A LOT OF THESE
BILLBOARDS POPPING UP ALL OVER
METRO DETROIT, BUT THE ENTIRE
CAMPAIGN IS BEING DONE TO SAVE A
LIFE. VERY WEIRD TO PUT YOUR
NAME OUT THERE LIKE THAT, TO
BASICALLY ASK FOR HELP IF YOU’RE
ANYWHERE NEAR EIGHT MILE IN THE
LODGE IN SEVERAL OTHER PLACES,
YOU MAY NOTICE THIS BILLBOARD
WITH THE UNIQUE REQUEST.
LAWRENCE TECH PROFESSOR SCOTT
SCHNEIDER IS IN NEED OF A NEW
KIDNEY. I’VE BEEN ON THE
TRANSPLANT LIST FOR TWO YEARS,
SO BASICALLY DIAGNOSED ABOUT
THREE OR FOUR YEARS AGO TO SAY,
HEY, YOUR KIDNEYS ARE STARTING
TO FAIL. WITH ROUTINE DIALYSIS,
THE PHYSICS PROFESSOR IS AT
LEAST STABLE. BUT HIS SISTER AND
HER KIDS CREATED THE KIDNEY FOR
SCOTT CAMPAIGN. LET’S JUST SAY
THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING THE
STUDENTS AT LAWRENCE TECH, HAVE
BEEN EXTREMELY SUPPORTIVE. HE’S
A FAVORITE ON THE UNIVERSITY
CAMPUS. WHEN I’M IN SPORTING
EVENTS HERE, I DRESS UP CRAZY
BLUE HAIR AND BLUE DEELEY,
BOPPERS AND THINGS. THAT’S PART
OF THE REASON WHY STUDENTS ARE
RECORDING TESTIMONIALS TO TRY TO
GET PEOPLE TO HELP THEIR
FAVORITE PROFESSOR. DR SCOTT IS
AN AMAZING MENTOR IS TRUSTWORTHY
, RELIABLE IN CHINA COMPANY
OUTFRONT MEDIA EVEN DONATED THE
BILLBOARD SPACE TO HELP DR SCOTT
WITH HIS SEARCH. MAKING A TOTAL
OF SIX BILLBOARDS IN SOUTHEAST
MICHIGAN. WE BOUGHT SOME TIME ON
ONE OF THE BILLBOARDS, BUT THEY
ALSO HAVE A CAMPAIGN WHERE THEY
LIKE TO PICK A PARTICULAR STORY
AND SAY, OH, WE’RE GOING TO RUN
WITH THIS THROUGH IT ALL. DR
SCOTT IS REMAINING OPTIMISTIC.
WHAT ARE MY CHOICES? I MEAN, I
COULD BE ALL DEPRESSED AND
MOROSE AND MAKE PEOPLE AROUND ME
MISERABLE. THAT’S NOT A WAY TO
LIVE. IT’S HUMBLING TO KNOW THAT
YOU’VE GOT ALL THIS SUPPORT OUT
THERE, SO I’M VERY GRATEFUL FOR
THAT. AND THESE BILLBOARDS WILL
BE IN PLACES LIKE NOVI AND TROY
. BUT IF YOU GUYS ARE WATCHING
AT HOME, AND YOU THINK YOU WANT
TO DONATE, YOU CAN HEAD OVER TO
CLICKONDETROIT’S DOT COM FOR
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO APPLY AND
THEN ALSO HELD TO GET TESTED.
VICTOR WILLIAMS LOCAL FORM
VICTOR BRINGS US TO THE FACT
THAT FINDING A DONOR IS GOING TO
DEPEND ON BLOOD TYPE. SO WHAT?
JUST SO THAT WE ALL KNOW WHAT
TYPE DOES DR SCHNEIDER NEED
HERE? THEY’RE LOOKING FOR TYPE
O, BUT OTHER PEOPLE CAN GET
TESTED TO SEE IF THEY CAN
ACTUALLY DONATE WITH THEIR
KIDNEYS. SO IT’S A LOT IN THERE
THAT THEY HAVE TO LOOK AT FIRST,
BUT TYPO MAINLY AS THE ONE
THEY’RE LOOKING FOR VICTOR.

DEARBORN PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD
MEETING IS GOING TO RESUME LATER
THIS WEEK AFTER LAST NIGHT’S
MEETING WAS SHUT DOWN EARLY BY
THE FIRE MARSHAL. SHUT DOWN THE
MEDIA DON’T COMPLY. GONNA BE
RECESSING UNTIL WE CAN GET THE
SITUATION UNDER CONTROL. THE
DECISION WAS MADE DUE TO THE
SIZE OF THE CROWD, AND WHAT
WE’RE TOLD, WAS SOME ROWDINESS.
PARENTS AND STUDENTS GATHERED TO
SPEAK DURING A DISCUSSION ON
BANNING BOOKS. SOME DEEMED
CONTROVERSIAL BOARD MEETING IS
GOING TO CONTINUE NOW THIS
THURSDAY. IT’LL BE SEVEN O’CLOCK
THURSDAY EVENING AT FORD’S IN
HIGH SCHOOL. OKAY LET’S GET OVER
TO METEOROLOGIST KIM ADAMS.
TRACKING A FEW LITTLE SHOWERS
HEADED OUR WAY. BUT OVERALL
REALLY NICE DAY TO DAY. YEAH WE
MADE IT THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY
. I DON’T THINK WE CAN REALLY
COMPLAIN ABOUT SHOWERS COMING IN
AFTER SUNSET TONIGHT.
TEMPERATURES ARE RIGHT NOW IN
THE SEVENTIES, WILL HAVE ONE
MORE DAY OF FAIRLY MILD WEATHER
AND THEN REALLY COLD AIR MOVES
IN FOR THE END OF THE WEEK. WE
DROPPED DOWN THROUGH THE SIXTIES
BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. RAIN IS
MOVING IN SOMETIME AFTER EIGHT
O’CLOCK TONIGHT, SO YOU MIGHT
WANT TO GET OUT A LITTLE EARLIER
TONIGHT. AND IF YOU WANT TO WALK
THE DOGS, OR IF YOU HAVE SPORTS
THAT YOU WANT TO PLAY OUTSIDE,
WE’VE ALREADY NOTICED AN
INCREASE IN THE CLOUDS, WITH THE
BULK OF THE RAIN STILL MOVING
THROUGH SOUTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN
AND ALSO PARTS OF NORTHERN
INDIANA. IT WAS POURING DOWN
RAIN LAST HOUR IN CHICAGO. NOW
THEY’RE JUST GETTING LIGHT TO
MODERATE RAIN SHOWERS. SO
SCATTERED SHOWERS TOMORROW
MORNING AT THE BUS STOP. WE
SHOULDN’T MAKE IT TO 70 OUT
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT COMING
THROUGH, AND WE’LL GET A COUPLE
OF BREAKS TOMORROW FROM THE
RAIN, AND THEN TOMORROW NIGHT.
THAT’S WHEN WE EXPECT HEAVY
RAIN. MAYBE EVEN SOME
THUNDERSTORMS. I’LL TALK ABOUT
YOUR WEEKEND FORECAST HERE IN
JUST A FEW MINUTES. THANK YOU.
