Judge Denies Bond for Detroit Man Charged in Deadly Gas-Station Carjacking

Prosecutors accuse Kevin Maurice Farries Jr. of killing Keith Graus during a carjacking at a Joy Road gas station.

Overview

  • Farries, 25, was ordered held without bond on Friday in connection with the Feb. 10 killing of 60-year-old Keith Graus.
  • He faces charges of felony murder, first-degree murder, and carjacking, with a potential life sentence if convicted.
  • Authorities say Graus was assaulted outside the pump around 4:30 a.m., had his watch taken, and was run over multiple times as the suspect fled in his vehicle.
  • Detroit police described the attack as deliberate yet apparently random, citing surveillance evidence and witness accounts.
  • Michigan State Police and Dearborn officers arrested Farries after a brief pursuit in which police vehicles were struck, and troopers said they will seek additional charges linked to the chase and damage.
