The shooting happened around 9:09 p.m. in the Evergreen Trail neighborhood near 11 Mile and Evergreen Rd. Police say the victim had just arrived home with her 14-year-old grandson when someone fired into her SUV. The grandson was not injured in the shooting.

Surveillance video captured a man running to a vehicle and speeding away from the scene. Moments later, the woman's grandson can be heard crying out for help.

Police say the shooting was not random, but based on their investigation, the woman and her grandson were not the gunman's intended targets. The victim's family members rushed her to a hospital themselves rather than waiting for an ambulance.

Police say she is in stable condition. Her family was too shaken up to speak on camera.

"We heard this pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop," said Henry Adams, a neighbor who witnessed the incident.

"You heard people in the back shouting, 'call 911.' We heard people say, 'all the ambulance,'" the neighbor said. "Less than five minutes later, Southfield Police showed up and it was just chaotic."

The violence has left neighbors like Adams on edge.

"A little unnerving for it to have happened right across the street from me, like I said, this is unusual," Adams said.

Another neighbor, who did not want to be identified fearing retaliation from the gunman, suggested increased security measures.

"I've been here for over 25 years now and nothing like this has ever happened in this area at all. I'm thinking they need to start neighborhood patrols again. Just to be on the safe side," the neighbor said.

A Southfield police officer spotted the suspect vehicle and pursued it to Detroit but ultimately lost sight of the car near 7 Mile and Southfield roads. The gunman is still on the run.

Anyone with information about the shooting or who recognizes the vehicle in the surveillance video is asked to call Southfield police or Crimestoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP. Tips can remain anonymous.

Antonio Craig Sr. was gunned down while working outside an apartment complex on Karen Court and Hopkins Avenue in Pontiac Saturday evening, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office. The suspect was arrested just hours later in a restaurant parking lot in Waterford Township, only a few miles away.

Craig's children, Ashlee Craig and Antonio Craig Jr., are still processing the devastating loss of their father, who they describe as the rock of their family.

"It was the worst feeling ever. And it just keeps replaying back in my head," Ashlee Craig said.

Antonio Craig Jr. said he sensed something was wrong when his father didn't answer his phone.

"I was calling his phone for hours. My dad, like, never not answer his phone, and if he do, he, like, calls or texts you right back," he said.

Their fears were confirmed when Ashlee saw their father's work truck in a Facebook Live stream. She rushed to the scene and found her father's body on the ground outside his truck.

"It was like my heart caved in. I couldn't breathe. Like, my world was just spinning. I just kept on asking, 'Can I hold him? Can I just hold him?" she said.

Carol Cooper, who has lived in the apartment complex for nearly 30 years, was shaken by the violence.

"We were all scared and shook up. Just didn't believe it. We couldn't believe it, that that happened," Cooper said. "And the guy, he was a really good guy too."

The Craig family says Antonio Sr. was devoted to his children and raised their two siblings, who weren't even his biological children.

"My dad did everything in his power to make sure we were good. We have two siblings that's not even his kids, and he raised them since they was a baby, you know?" Antonio Jr. said.

The children describe their father as someone who provided comfort and strength during difficult times.

"He was always there to comfort, letting you know it's going to be okay. This is not the end of it. God always got the last say so, so you get up and be stronger. You move. You move forward," Ashlee said.

Now facing life without their father, the family has a message for the person responsible.

"Why? Why? Why? When he didn't do nothing but love you," Ashlee said.

The suspect is being held at the Oakland County jail and is expected to be charged Tuesday. The name of the suspect has not been released because formal charges have not yet been filed.

The Craig family says they must now move forward together, staying strong for their father.

"We just gotta stay whole for my daddy. Because I know that's all he wants," Ashlee said.

A 13-year-old boy was fatally shot Tuesday afternoon in Highland Park, leaving his family devastated and the community searching for answers in what police describe as another senseless act of violence against youth.

Avonte Herring was gunned down near the Dollar General store on Woodward Avenue and Manchester Parkway around 3:45 p.m. Tuesday. Stray rounds from the shooting struck neighboring businesses and passing vehicles.

I spoke with Avonte's mother, who said she did not get a minute of sleep after learning her son was murdered. The family was too shaken up for an interview Wednesday but is hoping and praying his killer is brought to justice.

"Children need a village. They need a village because these streets and being out here, you know, it's nothing nice," said Liletha Poe, a neighbor, reflecting on the tragedy.

Neighbors like Poe are stunned by the loss. She said Avonte was a familiar presence in the community who looked out for younger children.

"Definitely going to miss his presence around here. Like I said, I'd see him every morning and to wake up and not see him, that's definitely going to be a stint in my routine," Poe said.

She described how Avonte would help watch her young children and even give her son money.

"He used to give my son like a dollar or two. He would see them on the bus," Poe said. "First he would come and see me or if they were not listening as they say they're supposed to, he would know that and let me know."

Investigators have not disclosed a possible motive in the shooting. Highland Park Police Chief James McMahon believes the suspect, like Avonte, is a young teenager.

"I've had community leaders reach out to me, residents that are offering to help in any way. Whenever you hear something like this, it's horrible," McMahon said.

The chief issued a stark warning to parents about knowing what their children are doing.

"As parents, as teachers, as the community, as law enforcement, we gotta do a better job of getting control of these kids. We suspect our suspect is very young as well and I also suspect that their parents know what they're into and knowing who they're hanging out with," McMahon said.

"For the parents out there who know what their kids are up to, your kids are going to end up in prison or dead if you don't get control of them."

The case has been handed over to Michigan State Police, which is actively investigating.

Anyone with information about the shooting should contact Highland Park Police or 855-MICH-TIP or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP. Callers can remain anonymous.

A Roseville student is speaking out after a terrifying incident at his middle school where a classmate pulled out a knife inside the building on Friday.

Roseville middle schooler recounts terrifying incident when student pulled out knife

The young man said the student in question looked as if he was mad and possibly crying as he held the knife.

Thankfully, no students or staff were hurt, but the incident is reigniting concerns about safety on school grounds and the impact it has on kids.

"He put his hand in the backpack, he gripped onto it, took it out, and he was holding it, and I looked, and I see it, and I ran," 11-year-old Blake Alman told me.

"Yeah, he said he was going to stab someone in the hallway or something like that," he said. "I was panicking, so I just ran.

A spokesperson for Roseville Community Schools said the incident forced the building into a shelter-in-place for about five minutes as administrators disarmed the student.

"The fact that he walked past that kid and he could've gotten hurt is what still shocks me and scares me," Blake said.

Gabriela Resendez, Blake's mom, said her son is shaken.

"Now he's got really bad anxiety, you know? He doesn't want to go back to that school," she said.

The sobering situation at Roseville Middle comes on the heels of a series of scares in Macomb County schools.

Bullets and shell casings were found at Green Elementary and Roseville High School on Tuesday and Wednesday. In Center Line, students were held in their fourth-period classrooms at two high schools after a threat was made early Friday.

Macomb County Prosecutor Pete Lucido said students and parents must understand it's not just schools that have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to weapons and violence. He doest oo.

"We're allowed to prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. Guns and knives do not belong in school, nor will the prosecutor of Macomb County allow you to do this," he said.

School officials are cooperating with Roseville police, which is now handling the investigation.

A Garden City family is pushing for the firing of a school paraprofessional after he assaulted their 19-year-old daughter in a fit of road rage.

Family wants school para-pro fired after assault in road rage incident

Police say Jonathan Rutter followed the woman to a red light, got out, banged on her car and stuck his face in her window to curse and spit at her.

Olive Hamilton and her mother are now calling for the Garden City School District to fire Rutter after he was charged and convicted.

Olive said she was stopped at the intersection of Merriman and W. Chicago in Livonia back on June 16 when the incident happened, leaving her shocked and scared

I was not only frightened, it was more of the fact, who else is this happening too?" she said.

Police said Rutter was frustrated with how Olive was driving. He then hopped out of his car at a stopped red light, banged on Olive's window and then.

"He stuck half of his body in my car as he proceeded to yell and spit on me," Olive said.

All while calling Olive "A goofy b****."

"The only thing my mind could go to when he was walking back to his car is, I should probably get out and take picture," she said.

Olive sent that picture to her mother, who posted it on a neighborhood page and asked who the person was.

OLIVE Hamilton SENT THAT PICTURE OF RUTTER TO HER MOTHER, WHO POSTED IT ON A NEIGHBORHOOD PAGE INQUIRING: "WHO IS THIS GUY?"

"And sure enough, the messages just started coming in that he worked for Garden City School District he worked with autistic special needs, he's a bus aid, and a respite to where he'll go into people's homes and give parents a break unattended," Olive's mother, Tiffany, said.

Garden City Public Schools confirmed Rutter is still an employee. Both Tiffany and Olive believe that this should change immediately.

"If you can look this man in the face and send him off to a school to work with children, not only children but autistic children, it's just not right. It shouldn't be happening," she said.

On Wednesday, Rutter was convicted of misdemeanor assault and battery. I spoke with him over the phone, but he declined to comment. We reached out to his lawyer for a statement, but she did not respond in time.

The Garden City Public Schools superintendent said the district is handling this as a personnel matter and can offer no further comment.

A California woman is potentially facing years in prison for her alleged role in an elaborate retail fraud scheme that spanned multiple states and involved stolen credit card information to purchase thousands of dollars in gift cards.

Watch Randy Wimbley's video report: California woman arrested in Michigan for alleged retail fraud scheme

Baixue He was arrested last Wednesday by Canton Police during an organized retail crime blitz in partnership with the Michigan Attorney General/Michigan State Police FORCE Team. Police allege He drove from California to Southeast Michigan, where she hit nearly a dozen stores and purchased upward of $10,000 worth of gift cards using stolen credit card information.

"In this case, particularly, we know that there was a fraudulent look-alike website for a brand-name designer that our victim went to to purchase some jewelry for his girlfriend, and that website was not legitimate, and that's how his card was stolen," Lt. Michael Andes said.

According to Canton Police, He purchased dozens of gift cards at self-checkout kiosks from stores including Sephora, Target, and Lowe's. The cards would then be resold or used to purchase high-end electronics for sale overseas or domestically.

Police say He is part of a larger retail crime organization. Detectives spotted her at a Home Depot location and followed her to stores in Van Buren Township, Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor, Pittsfield Township, and Scio Township, where investigators say she used stolen credit card information to buy gift cards.

"Somewhere between $5,000 and $10,000 that day. We believe she does this every day and it's her full-time job, so we're looking at probably in the millions throughout the nation just by Ms. He," Andes said.

Oakland University business professor Michael Greiner says these types of crimes cost businesses and credit card companies billions of dollars, with consumers ultimately paying through higher product prices and interest rates.

"There is a certain amount where there are these chargebacks, where essentially retailers come to them and say, look, you know, we had this credit card charge come to us, and it turns out that it's fraudulent, so you need to give us the money back. And so the credit card companies have to do that, and that gets baked into, again, the interest rates that all of us are paying," Greiner said.

With the holiday shopping season approaching, police recommend several steps to protect yourself from similar schemes. The most important tip is verifying website URLs when shopping online.

"The biggest thing is when you're doing online shopping is to check out the URL to make sure that it's at, like, a .com address and that the brand name is spelled correctly," Andes said. "Sometimes they'll use an Amazon where they'll put zero instead of the O for the Amazon, and they'll direct you to a fraudulent site. Sometimes you'll see a Walmartsale.com, which is also a fraudulent website."

Local shopper Bart DeVos says he monitors his accounts closely and avoids clicking on advertisements offering deep discounts that seem too good to be true.

"If I have any, like, big purchases on my credit card, and it'll notify me and I keep an eye on my accounts," DeVos said. "Because, I mean, scammers are out there. That's obvious right there."

He is facing 17 counts of identity theft and is being held in the Wayne County Jail on a $50,000 cash bond.

Police say the double homicide at a Shelby Township auto dealership stemmed from buyer's remorse over a $3,000 Hummer.

The fatal shootings happened Friday at Star Auto Sales on Ryan Road near Auburn Road, where Sandles allegedly killed dealership owner Marvan Batoo and customer Ghaith Baban.

Police tracked Sandles to a hotel in Romulus, where he had been living. They say he returned to the hotel just one hour after the murders.

"He bought a vehicle from Star Auto Sales and they had a dispute. He thought it was a lemon. They went back and forth arguing about it and at a certain point, he just dropped the vehicle off and just left it there," Shelby Township Police Chief Robert Shelide said.

Police say tensions reached a boiling point three weeks ago when Sandles confronted Batoo at the used auto shop. Those tensions boiled over Friday when Batoo was in his office with customer Baban.

"Surveillance video from the side of the business shows the suspect entering the business and shooting both Baban and Batoo at point-blank range," Shelide said. "He didn't go there to rob and this wasn't a hit. He went in to kill that man, to kill the owner and Mr. Baban just happened to be there."

Baban's brother Sameer Najeeb expressed his heartbreak over losing his sibling.

"It's just too much, just somebody you were with all your life and now he's just like randomly picked and gone," Najeeb said.

Police say Sandles fled the scene, but investigators identified his getaway vehicle, which initially confused them.

"Our FLOCK cameras and surveillance video picked up the license plate. It comes back registered to a guy, so we thought this was the guy. Well, it turns out his name has a hundred vehicles registered to him," Shelide said.

Police contacted the registered owner who explained the vehicle was a Turo rental car that Sandles was using. Investigators tracked Sandles' location through his cellphone to the Magnuson Hotel near Detroit Metro Airport in Romulus, staking out his room and car before making their move.

"We executed a no-knock warrant that was signed by the magistrate and immediately went into the room and arrested Sandles," Shelide said.

Inside the hotel room, police say they found the gun used in the murder, cash stolen from Star Auto Sales and other evidence.

Macomb County Prosecutor Pete Lucido says Sandles is wanted in Houston, Texas, his hometown, on an outstanding warrant.

"He's going to be sitting in the Macomb County Jail until we get this case resolved. After this case has been concluded, then and only then will they have rights to this prisoner," Lucido said.

According to Batoo's family, Sandles showed up in late October demanding a refund for the Hummer and threatened to kill the owner.

"What would I say to this guy? I hope he rots. Rots in jail," Sameer Najeeb said.

Sameer Najeeb, Baban's younger brother, said he was waiting in a Toyota Prius outside when his brother was gunned down while paying off a car inside the auto shop's sales office.

"It's just too much, just somebody you were with all your life, and now he's just like randomly picked and gone," Najeeb said. "It's just the fact that I was like 15 feet away from him, oblivious to the surroundings and everything."

Najeeb said his family came to America from Iraq, and Baban desperately wanted to escape the violence there.

"He ran away from something he predicted basically. He said I don't want a stray bullet landing on my head and it seems like, from what I learned, he was shot from the back in his head," Najeeb said.

Sandles is being held without bond in the Macomb County Jail. He is expected to be in court for a preliminary exam on December 1st.

Two men in their 30s were shot and killed Wednesday night at Flyy Cutz barbershop on Greenfield and Trojan on Detroit's west side in what police are calling a targeted attack.

Watch Randy Wimbley's video report: Two men killed in targeted shooting at Detroit barbershop

The shooting happened around 9:20 p.m. Wednesday, leaving the barbershop community devastated and searching for answers.

"The thought of somebody you see all the time, you not going to see anymore. The little things you laughed about, you talked about the last time you seen them, it's left at that," said Mohammed Abdul, a barber at Flyy Cutz.

Abdul had left the shop around 5 p.m. Wednesday evening, only to be bombarded with text messages and phone calls hours later about the shooting.

"I saw this video. I knew it was serious then. People were like What happened at the shop? I'm like, are you serious? What are you talking about?" Abdul said.

Detroit Police Deputy Chief Jacqueline Pritchett said officers found the front window shot out when they arrived at the scene.

"They entered the location. They observed a male lay just east of the door. He's obviously deceased. They entered looking for additional victims. In doing so, they observed another male in the rear location. He, too, was obviously deceased," Pritchett said.

"Officers did not observe any signs of forced entry. There didn't appear to be a struggle prior to the shooting, and everything, the work stations inside all appeared to be intact."

Patrick Hennessee, a regular customer at Flyy Cutz, showed up Thursday looking for a haircut, only to learn two men he often saw at the shop were killed.

"I would never imagine. Both of them are two cool dudes. Every day, everybody in the community would come up here and talk to them, so I would've never expected that," Hennessee said.

Staff at Flyy Cutz spent Thursday afternoon cleaning up and reflecting on how their barbershop became the center of a homicide investigation. Despite the tragedy, the shop is working to move forward.

"Hopefully, it'll be back to business, and maybe this will be something that people will learn from this. I know people are mad about it, sad about it," Abdul said.

Police are asking anyone with information about the shooting to call DPD's Homicide Unit at 313-596-2260 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP. Callers can remain anonymous.

A 12-year-old boy is recovering at Children's Hospital after he was severely injured in a hit-and-run crash in Warren. Police are asking for the public's help to find the driver who fled the scene.

Watch Randy Wimbley's video report: Police seek driver in Warren hit-and-run that severely injured boy

Liam Oliver was riding his minibike near 13 Mile and Moceri Circle near Schoenherr in Warren around 5 p.m. Monday when he was struck by a vehicle. The driver left him alone with severe injuries and fled the scene.

"All night he's been crying," said Tekeila Underwood, Liam's mother. "He's hurt and he's disappointed because he's asking why him and why did this person do this to me?"

Liam is undergoing surgery for serious injuries, including a fractured tibia bone that broke through the skin, a fractured skull, and extensive road rash.

"His tibia bone, which is right here, actually broke and came out the skin and went back in," Underwood said. "Plus, he has a fractured skull. The front of his - from here all the way over here, it's just raw skin," she said.

Police believe the driver of a dark Chevrolet Equinox with significant front-end damage is responsible for the crash. The vehicle was last seen heading west on 13 Mile Road.

While investigators say it's not legal to ride a minibike on public roads, that does not give someone permission to flee the scene of an accident. Underwood said she would not have been angry if the driver had stopped to help.

"I know you know you hit something. So, it's like, I wouldn't even be mad if you stopped. Accidents happen, I get that. But you kept going and you didn't care if you killed my son or not," Underwood said.

Despite the devastating injuries, Underwood is grateful her son survived the crash. She's urging the driver to come forward.

"It's a kid. If you were driving and you know you weren't supposed to be driving, so what? Just turn yourself in. Please. Because my baby did not deserve this," Underwood said.

The Warren Police Department urges anyone with information regarding this incident, or with CCTV video from the area, or any other information on the whereabouts of this vehicle, to contact Warren Police Det. M. Accivatti at 586-574-4859 or maccivatti@warrenpd.org. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
