Overview
- A police pursuit in Warren ended when a stolen Dodge Ram ran a red light at 8 Mile and Schoenherr and struck an uninvolved car, killing 48-year-old Remeious Washington.
- Warren officers first tried to stop the truck near Fairfield and Georgiana after seeing occupants wearing ski masks and the driver fled, leading to a seven-minute chase with speeds up to about 89 mph.
- Four juveniles were arrested at the scene and a fifth was taken into custody days later; the group included one 17-year-old, two 15-year-olds, a 14-year-old and an 11-year-old.
- On June 24 Macomb County prosecutors charged the 17-year-old as an adult with second-degree murder and multiple felonies while the younger teens face juvenile charges and the 17-year-old was denied bond at arraignment.
- Investigators say the pickup was stolen from the Grosse Pointe area and that the suspects are linked to as many as 15 recent vehicle-related crimes, a claim highlighted by police releases of dashcam and surveillance footage and raising questions about pursuit practices and community safety.
