The Livernois Fire Dept. and Police Dept. was doing a wellness check on 85-year-old Albert Wright, his family hadn’t heard from him in days. When they went inside, they found 38-year-old Detroiter, Carlos Terry. Terry had broken into the home, tied up Wright, smashed him on the head, and stuffed him in a cabinet; where he died. Terry was caught and arrested as he was stealing items from the home.

What were you doing when you were 17? Two Detroiters that age were just charged with first-degree murder. D’Anthony Kendricks and Damariyon Coleman knocked on the front door to a Detroit home on Smart Street. When the 58-year-old owner opened the door, they both started shooting at him; he later died at the hospital. Thankfully, the Detroit Police homicide detectives were able to track them down.
