ST. JOHN HOSPITAL

The murder of a 16-year-old boy remains unsolved more than eight months after he was found dying on a Detroit street.

As we all gear up for our holiday celebrations and look forward to spending time with family, it’s important to remember there are children inside of this hospital and other hospitals across the state that won’t get to see their families and loved ones on Christmas.

Police said the man jumped out of the vehicle and fled the scene, but a police cruiser in the area was able to take him into custody.
