ARM IS SPEAKING OUT ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE SOLUTIONS AFTER LOSING TWO OF HER SONS TO SHOOTINGS.
THANKS FOR BEING WITH US FOR THE
NEWS AT SIX, I’M KIMBERLY GILL.
>> I’M DEVIN SCILLIAN. MICHIGAN
HAS PASSED A SERIES OF GUN
CONTROL MEASURES OVER THESE PAST
COUPLE OF MONTHS, THE LATEST
BEING THE RED FLAG LAW SIGNED
JUST THIS WEEK. BUT ONE DETROIT
MOTHER SAYS MORE NEEDS TO BE
DONE ON THE BACK END TO DETER
POTENTIAL SHOOTERS.
>> SHE’S LOST TWO SONS TO GUN
VIOLENCE SINCE 2019, AND SHE
TOOK TIME TO SPEAK WITH OUR
SHAWN LEY TODAY. SHAWN JOINS US
WITH MORE. SHAWN HERE’S WHY
WE’RE TALKING TO HER TODAY.
>> KIMBERLY AND DEVIN, ONE OF
THE CONVICTED KILLERS HERE, GETS
SENTENCED TOMORROW. HE WAS ABLE
TO REACH A PLEA DEAL AND THAT’S
THIS MOM’S MESSAGE. THERE ARE
TOO MANY DEALS, SHE SAYS NOT
ENOUGH HARSH PUNISHMENTS. MY SON
TAIMUR BEING TAYLOR, WAS
MURDERED. DECEMBER 31ST, 2019.
>> ON LAFAYETTE. AND SHANE, HE
WAS LEAVING THE PARTY STORE A
YOUNG MAN THEN HARASSED HIM FOR
THE LONGEST CHASE HIM OUT THE
PARTY STORE AND TOOK HIS LIFE.
THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I’VE
INTERVIEWED THIS HURTING MOTHER
OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS.
>> THE FIRST TIME JUST BEFORE
CHRISTMAS OF 2019. HER SON
TIMARION TAYLOR, WAS GUNNED DOWN
BECAUSE HE SIMPLY DECLINED TO
BUY MARIJUANA FROM A MAN OUTSIDE
OF A LIQUOR STORE. IN APRIL
2022. WE’RE INVESTIGATING THE
MURDER OF TYRONE PARKER, SHOT
AFTER BEING SET UP FOR A ROBBERY
. WE WHEN WE MET WITH HIS
MOTHER, IT WAS TY MARION’S
MOTHER. SHE HAS LOST TWO SONS TO
GUN VIOLENCE. SHE’S NOW AFRAID
OF BEING TARGETED FOR SPEAKING
OUT. SHE WANTS TO BE HEARD, BUT
NOT SEEN.
>> ISRA, I HAVE NIGHTMARES. I’M
JUST DEALING WITH THE PAIN. PAIN
AFTER PAIN. IT’S A TOUGH IT’S
REAL TOUGH FOR ME. TY MARION’S
KILLER WILL BE SENTENCED
WEDNESDAY AFTER MAKING A PLEA
DEAL.
>> THIS MOM SAYS AFTER LOSING
TWO SONS. THE ANSWER TO THE
PROBLEM OF GUN VIOLENCE IS NO.
PLEA DEALS. BUT HARSH SENTENCES,
GAY LIFE DOWN.
>> SO I FEEL LIKE THE PERSON
THAT TAKE THEIR LIFE, THEY LIFE
SHOULD BE GONE BEHIND BARS FOR
THE REST OF THEIR LIFE AND THEY
SHOULD NOT SEE THAT LIFE EVER
AGAIN.
>> ONE MOTHER IS UNIQUE AND
TRAGIC. INSIGHTS ON THIS VERY
HOT BUTTON ISSUE IN OUR
COMMUNITY. DELMON ALFORD WILL BE
SENTENCED TOMORROW MORNING AT
830 FOR A MURDER CHARGE. HIS
CONVICTIONS, ALONG WITH MULTIPLE
FELONY ASSAULT CHARGES AND
FELONY WEAPONS CONVICTIONS AS
WELL, 12 TO 30 YEARS ARE
POSSIBLE. KIMBERLY AND DEVIN,
THE MOTHER IN THIS CASE, THOUGH,
SAYS ONLY A LIFE SENTENCE WILL
SEND THE PROPER MESSAGE SHE
BELIEVES. WE’RE LIVE TONIGHT.
SHAWN LEY, LOCAL 4. YEAH, THAT
POOR MOTHER.
>> ABSOLUTELY HEARTBREAKING. ALL
RIGHT, SHAWN, THANKS.
>> MICHIGAN SUPREME COURT
JUSTICE RICHARD BERNSTEIN SAYS
HE IS RESUMING HIS DUTIES IN
PERSON AFTER TAKING TIME TO BE
TREATED FOR SITUATION
DEPRESSION. BERNSTEIN ANNOUNCED
HE WAS SEEKING TREATMENT LAST
MONTH, SAYING HE WOULD WORK
REMOTELY BUT HAD TO MISS SOME
ORAL ARGUMENT NOTES. IN A
STATEMENT TODAY, BERNSTEIN SAYS
, AND THIS IS A QUOTE, IT IS MY
SINCERE HOPE THAT BY TALKING
ABOUT THESE ISSUES IN THE OPEN,
FREE, FREE FROM ANY NEEDLESS
STIGMA, WE CAN MOVE CLOSER TO A
DAY WHEN ANYONE STRUGGLING CAN
AVAIL THEMSELVES OF THE SAME
QUALITY CARE. I WAS BLESSED TO
RECEIVE A BILL AIMING TO BAN
DISCRIMINATION BASED ON A
PERSON’S HAIR MOVING FORWARD.
>> TODAY IN THE STATE
LEGISLATURE, THE SENATE VOTED 33
TO 5 TO PASS THE CROWN ACT. IT
WOULD AMEND THE PROTECTIONS OF
THE ELLIOTT LARSON CIVIL RIGHTS
ACT TO INCLUDE TRAITS
HISTORICALLY ASSOCIATED WITH
RACE THAT WOULD INCLUDE
HAIRSTYLE AND HAIR TEXTURE,
EXAMPLES LAID OUT IN THE BILL
INCLUDE BRAIDS, LOCKS AND
TWISTS. SUPPORTERS OF THE BILL
SAY IT WILL PROTECT BLACK
MICHIGANDERS WHO’VE FELT
PRESSURE TO WEAR THEIR HAIR A
CERTAIN WAY IN THE WORKPLACE.
THE BILL NOW MOVES TO THE HOUSE
FOR CONSIDERATION.
>> FORD IS WALKING BACK PLANS TO
BOOST AM RADIO OUT OF NEW CARS.
WHY THE SUDDEN CHANGE OF HEART?
CEO JIM FARLEY SAYS POLICY
LEADERS EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT
REMOVING WHAT THEY CONSIDER A
CRUCIAL PART OF EMERGENCY ALERT
SYSTEMS. NOT ONLY IS FORD,
INCLUDING AM RADIO ON ALL 2024,
FORD AND LINCOLN VEHICLES, BUT
THE COMPANY IS EVEN OFFERING A
SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR OWNERS OF
FORD ELECTRIC CARS WITHOUT AM
BROADCAST. LAST CAPABILITY.
>> THAT SHOULD MAKE A LOT OF
PEOPLE HAPPY THEN. SO ALL RIGHT.
SKY FOUR ABOVE THE VEHICLE,
THOUSANDS OF TAYLOR SWIFT FANS
WANT TO SEE IN THEIR
NEIGHBORHOOD. 25,000 WDIV
INSIDERS ENTERED OUR TICKET
GIVEAWAY CONTEST AT
CLICKONDETROIT.COM. WE’VE
ALREADY GIVEN OUT TWO SETS OF
TICKETS, SO NOW WE’RE STARTING
TO RUN LOW.
>> JASON COLTHORPE IS ON HIS WAY
TO THE HOME OF THE FINAL WINNER.
WE DO KNOW YOU’RE IN WAYNE
COUNTY. YOU GUYS ARE WONDERING
WHAT’S GOING ON, RIGHT?
>> WE’RE GIVING AWAY TAYLOR
SWIFT TICKETS. OH, YEAH.
EVERYBODY HERE’S THE CHOPPER IN
THE NEIGHBORHOOD WE’RE IN. SO
THEY’RE ALL OUT WATCHING THE
CHOPPER AND EVERYBODY GOES, HEY,
WHAT’S GOING ON? I SAID, WE’RE
GIVING AWAY TAYLOR SWIFT TICKETS
. HERE’S WHAT I CAN TELL YOU. WE
ARE SMACK DAB RIGHT NOW. WE’RE
KIND OF CIRCLING THE
NEIGHBORHOOD, KILLING TIME, IF
YOU WILL. BUT WE COULD BE GOING
TO WAYNE IN INKSTER GARDEN CITY,
DEARBORN HEIGHTS. WE ARE KIND OF
AT THE NEXUS OF THOSE FOUR
CITIES RIGHT NOW, LOOPING. AND
I’M SURE WHOEVER IS IN THE
CONTEST AND IN THAT AREA IS OUT
THEIR DOOR, KIND OF KEEPING AN
EYE ON CHOPPER BECAUSE YOU CAN
HEAR IT. BUT EVERY TIME WE TURN
THE CORNER, SOMEBODY’S OUT
LOOKING. WHAT’S GOING ON. SO
WE’RE VERY EXCITED. THIS IS
GOING TO BE THE THIRD SET OF
TICKETS. AND, YOU KNOW, IN ALL
SERIOUSNESS, THIS MORNING, WE
REALIZED WE’RE CREATING A HUGE
MEMORY. SAME THING WHEN WE GAVE
AWAY OUR SECOND PAIR LAST HOUR
IN BROWNSTOWN. THESE FAMILIES
ARE SO EXCITED TO GO TO JUST ONE
OF THE EVENTS. YOU CAN HEAR THE
CHOPPER NOW, BUT STAY TUNED,
GUYS. WE’RE ALL IT’S ALMOST TIME
.
>> WE WILL. I JUST GOT A
MESSAGE, BY THE WAY, JASON FROM
SOMEBODY SAID IF I CAN’T GET THE
TAYLOR SWIFT TICKETS, WHERE CAN
I GET JASON’S GO FOR A T SHIRT?
SO I’M GOING TO BE SENDING THEM
THE LINK FOR THAT. BUT YOU’RE A
HIT ON A NUMBER OF LEVELS TODAY.
>> GET AN GET AN ADDRESS, GET AN
ADDRESS, AND I’LL SEND IT TO
YOU. GOT IT. RIGHT. AWESOME.
PULL IT OFF AND SEND IT.
>> WE’LL CHECK IN WITH YOU IN
JUST A LITTLE BIT. JASON, THANK
YOU SO MUCH. IN MORE NEWS
TONIGHT, MANY HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS WILL PROUDLY ACCEPT
THEIR DIPLOMAS OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF WEEKS, BUT FEW CAN SAY
THEY GOT AS MUCH OUT OF THEIR K
THROUGH 12 CAREER THAN EMMA
JONES. VICTOR WILLIAMS SPOKE
WITH HIS TAYLOR TEEN, WHO SHOWED
UP FOR CLASS EVERY SINGLE DAY.
VICTOR THIS IS PRETTY AMAZING.
>> OH YEAH, PRETTY AMAZING.
KIMBERLY YOU DON’T SEE THIS TOO
OFTEN, BUT THIS YOUNG LADY WAS
ALWAYS PRESENT WHEN THE TEACHER
WAS TAKING ROW, EVEN WHEN SHE
DIDN’T HAVE TO BE.
>> I FEEL LIKE IT’S PRETTY COOL
.
>> EMMA JONES IS FINISHED OUT
HER ENTIRE SCHOOL CAREER, NOT
MISSING A BEAT OR A SINGLE DAY
OF CLASS.
>> TECHNICALLY, IT STARTED IN
PRE-K. I DIDN’T MISS A DAY OF
PRE-K, BUT THEY DIDN’T REALLY
KEEP TRACK OF THAT. BUT IT HAS
BEEN EVERY YEAR. I HAVEN’T
MISSED QUITE IMPRESSIVE
CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT SHE
HAD PERFECT ATTENDANCE EVEN
THROUGH A PANDEMIC. IT WAS A
LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT TO DO,
ESPECIALLY LIKE DURING COVID,
SINCE WE WERE ALL ONLINE, IT WAS
HARDER TO GET OUT OF BED AND
WANT TO DO YOUR WORK. BUT I
THINK IT WAS REALLY WORTH IT. IT
TAUGHT ME A LOT. NOW THAT GRADE
SCHOOL IS OVER, SHE PLANS TO
TAKE HER EDUCATION TO THE NEXT
LEVEL AT HENRY FORD COLLEGE TO
STUDY BECOMING A NURSE. WELL, MY
MOM AND MY GRANDMOTHER WERE ALSO
BOTH NURSES, SO IT’S KIND OF
SOMETHING I GREW UP AROUND. BUT
I ALSO I DO LIKE HELPING PEOPLE,
BEING ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF
PEOPLE. IT BRINGS ME A LOT OF
HAPPINESS, BEING ABLE TO HELP
IMPROVE PEOPLE’S LIVES.
>> AND EVEN THOUGH SHE’S SPENT
EVERY DAY POSSIBLE IN THE
CLASSROOM THAT HASN’T KEPT HER
FROM MISSING OUT ON ANY
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY.
>> AS I WENT ON, TONS OF FIELD
TRIPS WITH MY SCHOOL, I WENT TO
SEE THE TIGERS. I WENT TO CEDAR
POINT. I HAD TONS OF DIFFERENT
OPPORTUNITIES TO DO STUFF IN
SCHOOL. AND EMMA HASN’T JUST
BEEN SHOWING UP.
>> SHE’S ACTUALLY BEEN WORKING
HARD. SHE’S CLOSING OUT HER HIGH
SCHOOL CAREER WITH A 3.8 GPA.
VICTOR WILLIAMS LOCAL 4.
INCREDIBLE
>> I KNOW OUR PARENTS ARE SO
PROUD AND WE WISH HER WELL AT
HENRY FORD COLLEGE. VICTOR,
THANK YOU.
>> THE LOCK IT TAKES TO STAY
HEALTHY. OH, MY GOODNESS. THAT
MANY YEARS, ESPECIALLY IN THE
YOUNGER YEARS, BECAUSE I FEEL
LIKE WHEN KIDS ARE REALLY YOUNG,
THEY’RE SICK AND THEIR IMMUNE
SYSTEMS OR SOMETHING. YEAH,
THAT’S GREAT. MEMORIAL DAY IS,
OF COURSE, THE UNOFFICIAL START
OF SUMMER. AND DERMATOLOGISTS
SAY IT’S ALSO A GOOD TIME TO
SWITCH UP YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE.
>> YEAH, MORE SUNSHINE, HEAT AND
HUMIDITY CAN ALL HAVE A BIG
IMPACT ON OUR SKIN. DR. FRANK
MCGEORGE IS HERE WITH A CLOSER
LOOK AT HOW TO MEET OUR SKIN’S
CHANGING NEEDS IN THE SUMMER
MONTHS.
>> DOC YEAH, KIM AND EVAN.
>> SO HEAT AND HUMIDITY CAN BOTH
CAUSE YOUR SKIN TO PRODUCE MORE
OIL, LEAVING IT FEELING GREASY.
THAT MEANS YOUR USUAL PRODUCTS
MAY NOT BE THE BEST CHOICE
DURING THE SUMMER AND COULD
ACTUALLY INCREASE THE RISK OF
BLEMISHES. IT’S TIME FOR A
SUMMER SHIFT IN YOUR SKINCARE
ROUTINE, STARTING WITH YOUR
MOISTURIZER.
>> IF YOU USE SOMETHING TOO RICH
IN THE SUMMER, YOU MAY BREAK OUT
OR YOU MAY GET THOSE LITTLE
MILIA. EVERYBODY HATES THOSE
LITTLE TINY WHITE CYSTS THAT
THEY GET FROM TOO RICH OF A
MOISTURIZER FROM KIDS ALL THE
WAY THROUGH ADULTS. IT’S NOT AN
AGING THING. EVERYBODY THINKS IT
IS, BUT IT’S NOT. SO THERE ARE
REASONS TO SWITCH.
>> CLEVELAND CLINIC
DERMATOLOGIST DR. AMY KASSOUF
RECOMMENDS STARTING WITH A GOOD
FOAMING CLEANSER. YOU ALSO NEED
TO SELECT A SUNSCREEN TO PROTECT
YOUR SKIN FROM DAMAGING UV RAYS.
KASSOUF SUGGESTS LOOKING FOR
SUNSCREEN THAT HAS A TITANIUM OR
ZINC BASE. BUT IF YOU PREFER
OTHER PRODUCTS, JUST MAKE SURE
YOU’RE APPLYING IT CONSISTENTLY
. IF YOU WEAR MAKEUP, YOU MAY
NOTICE YOU’RE BREAKING OUT MORE
IN THE HEAT, ESPECIALLY IF
YOU’RE APPLYING SUNSCREEN LOTION
AND MAKEUP. TRY SKIPPING THE
LOTION DURING THE HOTTEST MONTHS
. AS FOR ANTI-AGING PRODUCTS,
DR. KASSOUF PREFERS PRODUCTS
WITH ANTIOXIDANTS.
>> I ALSO LIKE THE RETINOLS, AND
THERE’S A BIG MYTH THAT YOU
CAN’T USE YOUR RETINA OR YOUR
RETINOL IN THE SUMMER. THERE’S
TWO ISSUES WITH IT. ONE IS THAT
IT ENACT THE SUN WILL INACTIVATE
IT. SO USE IT AT NIGHT. IT WILL
WORK BETTER IF YOU USE IT AT
NIGHT. AND ALSO YOU PROBABLY
TOLERATE IT BETTER IN THE SUMMER
SO YOU’LL GET MORE USE OUT OF
IT. IT DOES TURN OVER THAT LAYER
OF DEAD SKIN CELLS, SO IT MAKES
IT A LITTLE MORE IMPORTANT TO
USE YOUR SUNSCREEN.
>> NOW BE SURE TO TALK TO YOUR
DERMATOLOGIST ABOUT ANY
PRESCRIPTION PRODUCTS THAT
YOU’RE USING AND WHETHER YOU
NEED TO CHANGE YOUR ROUTINE IN
THE SUMMER IN ADDITION TO
INCREASING YOUR RISK OF SKIN
CANCER. TOO MUCH SUN EXPOSURE
CAN ALSO MAKE DARK SPOTS ON YOUR
SKIN DARKER AND TRIGGER THE
FORMATION OF NEW ONES.
>> THANK YOU, DR. MCGEORGE JASON
COLTHORPE HAS ARRIVED IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE HE’S ABOUT TO
SURPRISE SOMEONE WITH OUR FINAL
PAIR OF TICKETS TO SEE TAYLOR
SWIFT AT FORD FIELD LIVE NEXT.
