A cake, some beer and a few bucks ends up killing a woman on Detroit’s east side

Party Giver Stabbed 15 Times

Detroit’s East Side – July 9, 2020: At around 8:00PM Thursday evening, Detroit’s 5th Precinct received reports of a foul smell coming from an apartment in the 1100 block of Ashland on Detroit’s east side.

Arriving officers found the decomposed body of a female inside the apartment. The death appeared natural and there were no signs foul play.

DPD homicide, DPD evidence/forensic techs were dispatched to the scene and the medical examiners officer notified.

The Autopsy

The autopsy determined she had been stabbed 15 times about a week earlier.

The Investigation

Sources tell me the victim threw a party for a resident of the apartment building a day or so before being stabbed. Unfortunately, the person she threw the party for was involved with another resident on the 2nd floor….who obviously took exception to all the attention paid to her man and is now accused of murdering the party-giver….stabbing her 15 times.

Stabbing someone 15 times requires a little bit of rage….or more than a little bit.

A cake, some beer and a couple of bucks turned out to be the last kind thing the victim ever did.

And so it goes…

DEMS-DPD Prevented From Providing Care

The DPD’s 2nd Precinct received a 911 call from a pregnant woman asking for help. The woman stated her water had just broke and she required medical aid at Grand River & Oakman Blvd’s.

At the time of her 911 call, DPD’s 2nd Precinct had another priority 1 call in the same area for shots fired and a possible shooting.

DEMS Medics Met With Gunfire In Area

Detroit EMS had been dispatched to the woman’s call for help and as they approached the scene they were met by gunfire. The medics; unable to provide aid the the woman, staged nearby until the DPD could secure the area.

Strike Force units began to secure the area when word came in that the woman was going into contractions and a shooting victim was found at Grand River & Ohio suffering from a gunshot wound to the neck, according to dispatch audio.

DPD units on scene stated the frequency of shots being fired increased as they entered the area.

While searching for the woman and the shooting victim, DPD Scouts had to dodge crowds and speeding vehicles leaving the area. Eventually, Detroit EMS was able to make contact with the woman and an additional DEMS Medic was dispatched to Grand River and Ohio St for the shooting victim.

Later in the evening, another shooting victim was privately conveyed to Henry Ford Hospital, possibly in conjunction with the shooting at Grand River & Ohio. Detroit Police evidence techs were sent to Grand River & Ohio to process the scene of a non-fatal shooting.
