Suburban Detroit teen charged, arraigned in mother’s slaying
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. (AP) — A suburban Detroit teenager has been charged with second-degree murder in the slaying of his 35-year-old mother.
Farmington Hills police say the 16-year-old was arraigned via video Monday in 47th District Court and will be tried as an adult.
Authorities received a 911 call on Aug. 21 from a home northwest of Detroit. The caller said a woman was the victim of an accident and was unconscious.
Police say life-saving measures by first responders were unsuccessful. Detectives later determined her death was not the result of an accident.
Her son is being held without bond in the county youth home. His name was not released late Monday afternoon.
A pre-examination conference is scheduled for Sept. 15.
Tickets available soon for beatification of Detroit priest
DETROIT (AP) — Free tickets will become available on Oct. 9 for the Roman Catholic beatification Mass of a Detroit priest.
The Mass to honor the Rev. Solanus Casey is scheduled for Nov. 18 at Ford Field in Detroit. It’s the final step toward sainthood. The stadium will accommodate about 60,000 people.
In May, Pope Francis announced the beatification of Casey, who died in 1957 at age 86.
Casey, who was known as Father Solanus, was a member of the Capuchin Franciscan Order of St. Joseph. He was one of the founders of Detroit’s Capuchin Soup Kitchen, which still operates.
He had a reputation as a healer who greeted people for years at the doors of St. Bonaventure Monastery.
Tickets will be available at www.fordfield.com.
